I am an amateur. I have not played any tournaments. I do not belong to any chess clubs. I play mostly against the computer. I think for Kasparov to have tied or even beaten Deep Blue a single game was a miracle. I am 56, and I live in California. I have been married 34 years, I have 3 children & 11 grandchildren: 10 girls, 1 boy!
