I'm from Sydney, Australia, best place on the planet! You can see me here: http://www.chessclub.com/activities/popup.html?/mugshots/ausstrider.jpg
I'm a self employed professional with a variety of business interests.
Integrity, honesty, ethics, reliability are important values.
I'm the leading candidate for the ICC King of Blunder Perpetual Trophy!! Also the first official sub-patzer on ICC!!
Also recently qualified for the GM(b) title - yes, grand master of the blunder.
Consequently, I usually allow takeback for gross blunders. There is no satisfaction to me in winning (or losing) as a result of throwing a piece.
I really appreciate stronger players who take the trouble to assist others improve. If you have tips or suggestions for me these are always welcome. I'm happy to contribute to others to the extent a person of my rating can do so.
Dec 2013 Achieved ICC Betting Grand Master title, only chess title I'll get! So now will ease back on betting but you can ask me about techniques to build chips.
March 2015: Just got into top 20 on ICC Bettingbot list!
