I'm 81 years old. I started playing chess at the age of 11. I'm also an Eagle Scout. First Scout in my home town to earn the God & Country Award. Also, holder of The Silver Beaver Award - Council's highest honor.
I live in Phoenix, Arizona USA If you're not from the USA, I'd be interested in learning where you live.
I'm a retired U.S. NAVY Captain; my last duty station was the Norfolk Naval Base in Virginia USA. I played lots of chess aboard ship. I've played in only one tournament - the 1994 Wash.D.C. Open
I keep autoflag - no escape turned on - and quietplay 1 turned on.
My favorite pastime is Ballroom Dancing . I also do Square Dancing, Round Dancing & Country/Western dancing. I'm married - with children (4) grandchildren (6), and great-granchildren (2).
I prefer NOT to chat while playing ! I'll respond briefly if asked.
