I learned chess from my older brother when I was about 8 years old and have played a lifetime in USCF tournaments. I am now 68. I am a student of chess history including the lives of famous chess players. I now have a retirement job as a security guard. As for my other interests, I love to sing Karaoke, read both fiction and non-fiction, if it is Stephen King, I am all in. I am a life member of USCF. I am learning to become fluent in Spanish. I have stopped playing Daily Chess due to computer cheaters and players who prolong hopelessly lost positions!!! See you on the chessboard...
