___ Born in Toronto. Now residing in Kingston (Ontario) since fall of 2009.
___ Joined in July 2004. Although I've become a daily chess addict on the internet, I don't study the game or play on a board. Probably should.... [2010 Update: Played for a few months on a board. Different game when one has to stay with it until completion.] [2011: Actually read a book. Now I'm really confused :] [2012: Why can't I spot those pins and forks?]
___ Challenges happily accepted from anyone. I've learned that all levels of players have imagination and it is fun to experiment and not just use standard openings. [2014: May be fun, but you get beat a lot 🙂]
