Update 07/03/24:
Sorry, for health reasons, I can only take on a limited number of games against new opponents.
The '75' in my nickname was my age when I invented it. Time has moved on, so I am now 78 and a widower. Being retired and living in a "family of one" gives me the opportunity to concentrate my energies on my main hobby, today, which is writing. My current project is a novel.
The script of my novel is divided into episodes, designed to fit into the messaging system on this site. So readers can play chess against me at the same time. As a "quid pro quo" I offer some of my readers some chess coaching as we go along.
Otherwise, my chess coaching days are now over, sorry.
I am always interested to play opponents from other countries, anywhere in the world, who enjoy communication, since chess is a cross-cultural activity.
For internet security reasons, however, I do not offer direct email contact, sorry.
Communication is important to me; so "silent" games (without any messaging) are of little interest nowadays.
If, having read my profile, you would like to offer me a game, then by all means write to me and tell me something about yourself.
Have a nice day!
