I played chess from about age 10, at school and college. The chess scene in West London in the late 60s was unwelcoming to newcomers; I stopped for 5 years. We moved to Cumbria in 1973; I played for club and county, until pressure of work and other outside activities caused me to stop again in about 1981. After I retired, I started playing again in 2011, for Hebden Bridge in the Calderdale League.
