I'm a Close Up Magician by night, something far less entertaining by day...

I'm most certainly a novice player. Dabbled with chess on and off most of my life but never really got anywhere skill-wise.

I can send turns most days and am quite chatty . Turns sent during UK daylight hours will generally be chat free though, since I tend to play on my mobile phone which makes reading and responding to game messages difficult.

See you on the board!
