Personal Notes

Hi, John here from Ireland

I don't do takebacks, I don't remember reading anything about them in the Official Rules of Chess.

We all make mouse slips sometimes, including me. Live with it, it evens out in the end...

i like playing chess, music, gardening, reading, walking in the countryside, writing computer programs, making wine, beer and chutney

Please don't blame "luck" if you lose - unlike poker, bridge or backgammon, for instance, there's no luck in chess apart from who gets White (and that evens out in the long run)...

Have fun, it's a cracking game :)
