My Chess Career

(with apologies to the shade of José Raul Capablanca ).

I am a counter puncher, a human lizard with a small brain. I never knew where I was going, but I ripped the tits off of anything that got in my way. By the time they figured me out it was too late.

1987

Middlesex League 1986-87

Playing for Ealing Chess Club.

One-day Quickplay

17.I.87
Somewhere in London (!)

31st Southend Open

17.IV.87 — 20.IV.87
Civic Centre, Southend on Sea, Essex, England.
½ 1 ? ? ? ? ? : 2/7
final standings

My score-sheets from this event I have lost. I remember in the first round agreeing a draw as Black in a won position against a player graded 200 BCF, and in the second beating a junior with my fearsome Bishop's Opening Clockwork Attack (TM), and at some point I played a fellow with the curious name of "Kevin of the Teachers"— a draw, I think. Beyond that, I remember nothing; and my immortal chess pearls have sadly been lost in the depths of time...

1988—1990

I played in a few tournaments in this period, but no longer have any records.

1991

35th Southend Open

29.III.91 — 1.IV.91
Civic Centre, Southend on Sea, Essex, England.
0 0 0 1 1 0 1 : +3 -4 =0 : 3/7
Prize: grading group (under 125) : 25 GBP
final standings

1992-2003

No serious chess played at all in this period, unless Chessmaster 2000 and gnuchess count. But sometime in 1999 or 2000, I discovered FICS and played many a game there at various time controls.
