My name is David Parkin.
I am Welsh (from Wales - UK), but recently I lived and worked as an oral English teacher in a university in China. I am now back in my hometown Swansea.
I am married to a Chinese girl and our Son Teifion (good Welsh name) is just over 3 years old.
Even though I have played Chess from the age of 5, I am still very much a beginner.
Oh, by the way, I will claim a time-out game because I like to play fast games.
