Been here ages but never written a profile....until now!
So, hello to you all.
I am a 20 year old student in Cardiff, which explains the spells of months I have away from the site...either the games get too numerous, my economics degree gets tough or I just go and get consistantly smashed. I have been playing chess since I was about 8, used to represent my school, play for my county and won numerous tournaments up until the age of 18...and have always had the same problem...moving too fast!!
