YOUR STORY
My name’s John and I have been playing chess since I was quite young, when my Dad taught myself and my brother. I have always loved the game but also find it the most frustrating and annoying of games! When you can find a great tactical combination that wins your opponent’s Queen, but then can miss a mate in 1 in the next game, you do wonder some times why you carry on!
I have played in the past for a local Chess Club but never really entered tournaments and only ever played for enjoyment rather than “professionally” as such. I have only recently seriously got back into Chess (largely due to lockdown) and found that I still enjoy the game as much as I ever did.
I play online now as often as I can and really want to improve my understanding of the game and my ultimate chess ambition would be to reach the level of Grandmaster.
WHY I WANT TO HELP PEOPLE
The main reason why I set up this site is that I think that there are many people who are also wanting to to improve their chess game, but don’t know how best to go about it. Many instructional books and videos are written by really strong players and personally I sometimes find that they are pitched over my level of understanding and I don’t get much from them. The idea is therefore as I explore ways of trying to improve my own game i can share what I’ve found with others, so hopefully what works for me can work for others.
THE GOAL OF THIS SITE
I would like this site to be a forum for people who love the game of chess to come together, share our enjoyment and hopefully find ways to improve our chess playing ability
All the best,
John
