OTB Experts and Masters indentify yourself!

I'm sure there are some out there, but they are reluctant to identify
themselves. I don't know why, as it is an accomplishment to be proud
of. How about it! And how about a little background. Most of us
would like to hear your story, how long you played, how you did it, any
advise you could give, etc.

alright....ya got me...

i'm a Master.

Wow I usually shy away from these types of attacks but that is strange.

If I lived in america I am sure I could get the 'expert' title but I dont know how much it is worth, besides sounding quite nice.

all i want is expert.....i care not for anything above that.

I think that's about what it's worth.

Kind of like my position as county captain, it sounds quite important to non chess players.

I plan to achieve an expert rating after I turn 50.
