I am 57 years old and used to play chess when I was young, but then life happened and for some 30 years I didn't play a game of chess. Early 2018 I met an old friend, who challenged me on redhotpawn, and now I suddently find it quite amusing and fascinating. Like visiting an old place you haven't seen for many years and seeing it with new eyes.

I still consider myself a learner and play for fun and intellectual exersize. I'd gladly have a few words of chat with you, as I play against humans and not just moving pieces on a screen.

I prefer to play rather than win by timeout, so if you know you'll be away, let me know. But if you just stay away without a word, I will claim the win.
