Ok I hadn't updated my finger notes in an embarrassingly long time so here goes:
Oops just noticed hadn't updated this one either - living in Poet's Corner, Acton with my wonderful WIFE Sue (finger poubelle)
Commonwealth and British Champion 2012. Current FIDE 2654 and running at 2665
This note is dedicated to the memory of Jessie Gilbert, Rest In Peace, 30 January 1987 - 26 July 2006
I've written a few books. My most recent is the two volume, GM Repertoire Dragon http://www.qualitychess.co.uk/products/1/259/the_dragon_volume_one_by_gawain_jones/
Looking for strong tournaments and leagues to play in around the world. Send me an email or message if you have any information
My website www.gawainjones.co.uk, is updated quite frequently these days by both me and Sue
