I play chess for fun and to keep my mind sharp.
I enjoy playing and learning from other players of various ranks from around the world.
I welcome advice from other players and enjoy studying others games to help improve my own play.
I'm happy to chat during games and exchange thoughts and ideas.
Timeouts I'm not a fan of timeout wins so if you need more time for a valid reason send me a message, otherwise I will take the timeout if I don't hear anything from you.
