Currently not accepting new random challenges. I am trying to cut down on my time playing chess. I will continue with my clans of course and my friendly games with friends. 🙂

Greetings from Upstate New York. I tend to move once a day. I am trying to get my games down to around 20. I have a couple regular opponents on here who are good friends. I once held an OTB rating of 2400+, but that was years ago now. I perhaps play 2100 now. But correspondence chess is quite to my liking-I can sit and ponder a move for hours as I pour over my personal collection of books, notes, and utilize 1 of my 12 chess boards to analyze my options. If I move slowly you know that you are giving me a hard game, or that I'm just being lazy and not moving.

I am very loyal to my two clans, American Conservatives Clan 24733 and the 1949 Seniors Clan Clan 24859.

All challenges please make them 7/21. Thank you.

If I think you are using an engine I will play on more determined than ever, but you will never play me again.

No, you may not know my name. This is the internet.

Players you should play-DavidRCumming User 513912 (his chess confounds me!) and Averell66 User 593555 (who gave me a solid loss). More to follow I am sure. Lute4 User 627920 (who has successfully pulled the most draws with me of anyone on this site). And Bob Wade User 488527 (who remains my most difficult opponent to win against on the site). 🙂

Good luck to all human players!

Most worth while wins Game 8989048, Game 8599304, Game 8798868. Well played my friends. 🙂

One of my losses, nicely played my friend! Game 9015401 .
