Favorite Players: Garry Kasparov, Mikhail Tal, Anatoly Karpov, Boris Spassky.I like playing both 1.d4 and 1.e4 as White, although I'm probably more of a 1.d4 player at the moment. Some of my favourite openings from the White side are the 6.Bg5 variation of the Najdorf, the Ruy Lopez, the Botvinnik Semi-Slav and the King's Indian Taimanov variation. As Black I enjoy playing the Sicilian Najdorf, the QGD Semi-Slav, and most recently the King's Indian.

<The hardest game to win is a won game.> - Emanuel Lasker
<Life is too short for chess.> - Byron
<When Victor replied to 1.e4 with 1...d6, I would have immediately severed my connections with this self-destroyer. A man of artistic temperament overestimated his strength and thought that he could place his bishop on g7 against Karpov! There are very few madmen who risk employing Pirc or King's Indian against Karpov.> - Alexsander A Shashin
