Why As An Employer Would I Value Chess As a Skill?

 Why As An Employer Would I Value Chess As a Skill?

So I've been involved in training quite a few salespeople, especially for British Gas. Richard Boylan who I found out about the job from was a decent chessplayer- he was higher rated than me then but not now.

I've been through the uni system and being directly honest a lot of people cheat. Not that many have discipline- some just like to take drugs and drink etc. Now a few chessplayers do that but the top ones can't afford to.

Even someone playing chess at an OK club level, saying 1500 ECF OTB or 1800 online rating has at least some calculation ability and determination. If I saw someone with an ECF rating over 1800 who had experience in the field I was recruiting him in I'd be very likely to hire him.

Let's see how my interviews go next week ;)

Why President Trump could be Great For Britain!

 So...

Let's get into two key facts of why President Trump could be Great For Britain...

If he stops the Russia Ukraine war...... not only could this prevent a NUCLEAR WAR but it will save both the USA and the UK millions of pounds in providing weapons. Ukranians living in the UK could finally return home too- this is best for them and a money saver for the UK!

I'm sure Trump will get serious on illegal immigration in the USA which hopefully will make the UK do the same thing. A big money saver!

Even though you make me 'verify I'm human' because I retweet I still think you're doing pretty gd job.

Two Millionaires React To President Trump!!

Chris Bailey is trying to do some poetry I guess....


I do Dean Staveley call....... he might have EVEN MORE IN BANK THAN THE FORMER 2 Billion Dollar Man........

GM Howitt "Why didn't you bet on it??"
DS "I'm not a betting man..."

We do quick chat about how Trump will be good for US... and prob the world.......

Because seriously that is more important than me winning a bet- even if I'd bet bigger......

If Trump can stop the Ukraine-Russia war as he says...... that's a big win FOR THE WORLD.

They tried to kill President Trump twice...... they failed. That says something about what God wants....

Congratulations President Trump!

 Congratulations President Trump!

I would have bet more but I thought the election could have been rigged again!

Great win for democracy!
