Last move 15 Dec 11 Bio
I've just recently started playing again (Sep '11) having not played since 1972. I am astounded by the richness of the Internet as a chess resource. In 1972, books (often written for those who didn't seem to need them) were my only tool for exploring this game. Now we can play against fellow enthusiasts from all over the world, explore openings and read analyses all from the comfort of home.
Favorite lyric: "There's someone in my head but it's not me..." from "The Lunatic" by Pink Floyd. Often describes my feeling after my usual chess blunders.
Favorite quote: "Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most." Mark Twain
