I love chess, but boy do I hate losing. However, as failure is a better teacher than victory, I like to challenge players who are my ability or better. I live in Auburn California. I used to use this site to teach my chess club, but then I got the greatest job in the world (PLACER HILLMEN) and have not started a club yet. I have timed out a few people, but only after several days of waiting. Contact me in advance and I will keep the game alive. Cheers!

Wow, it has been a year since my last game. I have been that busy. I move almost everyday, and several times a day in the summer.

Can't wait to get the cobwebs out. And, I don't mind playing lower skill players as long as you don;t mind if I give you a tip or two along the way.
