Personal Notes

Hi. I'm a musician from Quebec City, Canada (https://soundcloud.com/denis-robitaille)

No takebacks. I will never ask for one. Mouse handling is part of the "performance" as much as the clock.

Favorite classical composers: the usual (Bach, Beethoven...) plus Alban Berg, the young Stravinsky, Bartok. Fave musical DVDs these days: Boulez in rehearsal (what a lesson in music!) + Fred Frith live solo improvisation in Mexico 2007 :-))

Favorite rock (?) bands/musicians: Gentle Giant, Fred Frith, Univers Zero (incredible post-prog band from Belgium), Miriodor (my ex-band) Wayne Shorter Quartet

OTB rating around 1875. I suck at blitz! And yes, Igor, I also suck OTB ;-)

Chess is just a game and the first purpose of a game should be enjoyment. If it's not fun anymore, take a break and come back later.

Favorite chess player? Tal: nicotine, good wine and unsound combinations ;-)

Favorite openings: anything involving a K-side fianchetto. I guess Freud would have something witty to say about that!

Well, Sigmund, sometimes a bishop is just a bishop :)
