Mostly classical chess: Ruy Lopez, Queen's Gambit Declined, Tarrasch Defence sometimes. 1. e4 as White. A coffee house player at heart. These folks gets me going: S.Winawer, D.Janowski, Em.Lasker, J.Mieses, A.Burn, W.Steinitz, S.Tarrasch and C.Schlechter. A chess book collector to the detriment of my living space.
Please Note: I only play one day per move games with no time bank.
