Never got into chess as a teenager, even though I was attracted to the game, because I discovered that I couldn't tolerate its face-to-face aspect. But thirty years later I've discovered that the Internet is the solution to that. I tend to just one move per day, but occasionally I take a day off. I have Dutch parents, grew up in New Zealand, and now live in Japan.
