…here, the chess-related musings of a rather playful academic are bound electronically, in this online journal of sorts. How ’tis received and what, if anything, is taken now and forevermore remain external its own workings…

…for navigation, the categories and/or search bar should suffice…

…questions I shall do my utmost to answer promptly, particularly if they pertain to that past & present in my home town or county, those being Luton & Bedfordshire… .

Tutorship

I have taught chess at various levels in numerous settings throughout my adult life and the during the last twenty years or so I’ve taught English Language & Literature, thus am well-versed in the maieutic art of communication as well.

During Covid-19 concerns, I am available for tutorship for those within travel distance of my home town, that being Luton for OTB tutorship. For tutorship online, access to a webcam and a good connection is all that is required.

Such matters can be discussed further by email:
