About Me:
I'm a network consultant (Click --> The Open File) and amateur astronomer (Click --> Catalog of M51 Galaxay Type Associations).
I have won the Florida State Chess Championship twice (1981 & 1983), and won the 1981 Lawrence Pfefferkorn Open. I'm a USCF Life Master.
I write a weekly column on Chess.com called "The Open File." Check it out.
There's an old saying that goes, "Chess is a sea in which elephants may bathe and gnats may drink". In other words, you can enjoy chess no matter what your level of skill. I agree with that.
I'm available for lessons. Check out my "Coach Profile" if you're interested.
