"I play chess, therefore I think" (c) Dad taught me chess when I was 9. Korchnoi & Karpov played 2nd match then, and I learned algebraic notation via their games. I didn't play a lot until about age 16-17. I played in Uni, then stopped until 40 when I started to play online in 2012. In Jan 2016, I started actively playing in tournaments, later becoming NZ Senior (50+) co-champion in 2025.
