I'm an IT professional living in Canberra. A friend rekindled my childhood love of chess, now this site is to blame for many late nights. I take a never say die attitude into every game, even when it's a lost cause, so no resignations from me. I love my sport, esp. Rugby League - Go Tigers. I'm passionate about my God Jesus & try to 'always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks [the] reason for the hope that is in [me]' (1Pet.3:15). I love a good scientific discussion too, check out creation.com.
