Opening Choices

   
Choose openings that suit your style/temperament – just because the world's best players use it doesn't mean that it's right for you.

Choose openings that suit both your schedule and memory.

Choose openings that make you happy.

Don't choose openings based on the opinion of others, on chess squiggles like += and =, or on computer assessments.

About me

I played my first chess game in December 1977 and was lucky to hold draw. I continued to play chess and joined a chess club in September 1978. I'm still enjoying playing chess. I like to do many other things than playing chess. Long walks, some jogging, cycling, reading books, listen to music, watch movies, writing and much more. Life is fun!
