Real name: David Brown. Born in Cleveland, Ohio. Currently living in Port Richey, Fl.
I live with a wife, a dog,and two cats. All of whom seem to tolerate my addiction to chess.
I enjoy chess for the mental gymnastics involved in playing the game.
I am an official senior citizen so I do enjoy slower time limits.
My favorite player of all time has to be Bronstein. His imagination over the board was remarkable.
I would rather lose on time than from playing poorly.
I do not like suspected computer cheats or players who log off/adjourn a game in a lost postition.
I HAVE NEVER AND WILL NEVER USE A COMPUTER TO HELP ME WHEN PLAYING!
