Just a Blogger trying to write about chess. I make no claims to being an historian or biographer. I simply find chess players to be fascinating people and many of the great, near great and not so great were more than just a name in a crosstable or a game score. Sometimes they have interesting stories. And so, the purpose of this blog is simply to share what little I could find out about them...just so you will know them a little better as people, not just names.
