I am a Christian, married, father of two girls and an electrical engineer. I played chess some in high school but have only played a handful of games between 1992 and 2004. I enjoy chess, but I have never studied it. I don't use any books or other helps while playing online; I think that using books or other aids while playing online is unfair (i.e., cheating) unless both players are OK with using them.
