I shall
be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages

chess openings, I prefer to play less popular, less traveled lines. For over two
decades, I have mostly played the Bird’s Opening, the Dutch Defense, and the

As for me ... I am 46 and married to a great woman - Kathryn.
I have two kid's, Erik 19 and
Ashley 18. We live in the State of Texas, USA. I work as a design engineer for Forney
Corporation, designing Burner Management Systems which control the fuel safety and
operation of power plant boilers. As for chess, I started with the Fischer
- Spassky boom in 1972. I became a NM around 1980, a FM about 1990 and an ICCF
IM in the late 80's, ... forgot exactly when. |
Please provide me
feedback on this
article, and / or ideas for future opening article subjects. Remember, none of
that main line theory! <smile>
Good Chess!!
