edit data

New to goodreads (2021)...Spent many years as a professional chess player/teacher/writer and my first books were in this field. Obtained the grandmaster title around 30 years ago. Due to health issues (an arthritic condition) i was forced to retire from the demanding life of travelling around the world and playing tournaments. The last two decades my only source of income has been from betting on live cricket.

In 2020 during lockdown, I wrote my first non-chess book: Contemplating Comedy. It is a compilation of humour and ideas and hopefully a lot of fun. You can read the start of the book (and see about ten reader reviews) here:
