My name is Markus Jakobi, I am 57.5 years old and living in Wiesbaden, which is the capital of Hesse and a town 40 kilometres away from Frankfurt/Main in Germany. I am playing mail chess since I have been 14.5 years old (+30, =60, -18), but from 1982 until 2015 without computer assistance. My mail chess rating is Elo 2088 from 47 evaluations and my favourite chess players are Francois-André Danican Philidor (France), Wolfgang Uhlmann (Germany), Lev Polugaevsky (Russia), Robert James Fischer (USA), Anatoly Karpov (Russia), Stefan Kindermann (Austria/Germany), Thomas Bohn (Germany), Garry Kasparov (Russia), Stefan Meyer (Germany), Uwe Kettner (Germany), Zdenko Kozul (Croatia), Igor Khenkin (Russia/Germany), Dirk Emmerich (Germany), Vladimir Kramnik (Russia), and Elisabeth Paehtz (Germany). I consider Garry Kasparov, Robert James Fischer, Anatoly Karpov, and Francois-André Danican Philidor as the four strongest chess players in history. My favourite openings with white are the English, King's Indian, Volga-Benko Gambit, Queen's Gambit Declined, Modern Defense, Semi-Slav, Queen's Indian, Nimzo Indian, Chigorin, Dutch, Queen's Gambit Accepted, French, Ruy Lopez, Black Knight's Tango, Bogo Indian, Grunfeld, and Modern Benoni, and my favourite openings with black are the Sicilian, French, Semi-Slav, Nimzo Indian, Volga-Benko Gambit, Queen's Indian, Caro-Kann, King's Indian, Giuoco Piano, King's Indian Attack, Queen's Gambit Accepted, Blackmar-Diemer Gambit, Four Knights, English, Ruy Lopez, Van Geet Opening, and Modern Benoni. |
