500,000

 Some people ask... are you a real GrandMaster?


Many of you will only have read the public content on this blog... yet what goes in the DMs... sometimes it's surreal, sometimes it's comical......

Not everything I have written is now in the public domain, just as in years gone by you would have to go to a library or buy a book to know the author. God knows I've spent plenty of time and money doing that...

The only areas where I could classify myself at the GrandMaster level are reading and writing... and my friends know even sometimes I have a few thoughts in my mind questioning whether I deserve the title. What I'll do then is ask someone random whether someone who has over ten million views worldwide on his writing deserves the title and everyone says yes.

Truth is in terms of actual ability I probably was at the level in around 2005...

What would GrandMaster Orwell say of Britain and the world today? He died a few years after my age... after blasting out his best work on a remote Scottish island...

Many chessplayers reach the title of International Master at a young age yet never claim the highest title. Yet I have been lucky enough to chat to many chess GrandMasters now, and some I count as friends. In 2003 I never would have imagined GrandMaster Spraggett who defeated World Champion GrandMaster Karpov would feature my writing and link to my blog yet it's happened...

Ask a 20 year old Mark Howitt if he would have a Women's World Champion GrandMaster Kosteniuk posting him a DVD through the post and he would have just laughed at you. Happened again... all I can say is I am loyal and links to both remain on my site to this day...

If you're a young writer struggling to make it now... just imagine what can happen years in the future. It takes belief, confidence and discipline yet it you have the talent and want it enough amazing things can happen...

I want to achieve much more in different areas. It's surreal how many beautiful women I've experienced yet hopefully I am not too old to experience more. I'm officially single at the moment so what can I say... get in touch if you're smart...

Thank you to all my readers worldwide. There is much more to come.

GrandMaster

Foreign Aid

 Personally I would cut all foreign aid to zero. We have to take care of Britain first before we pay for foreign countries. Hundreds of millions of pounds have been wasted over many years.

 The only thing Lesley Jefferies could teach young writers is how to eat pies. Anyone being taught by her should ask for a refund.

British Flag

 Interesting meeting for Reform UK in Huddersfield. I contributed to the branch funds to purchase a British flag badge.

I will do everything I can to be wearing it as an elected representative for the British people.

Escape

 I'm not invisible to you

Do my eyes, do my eyes speak true?
My soul, so in touch with yours tonight
Won't let my head, let my head take flight

We could leave this place
Freedom ours to chase
What if I escape with you?

What if I escape with you?
What if I escape with you?
What if I escape with you?
What if I escape with you?
What if I escape?

Mm, mm-mm, mm, mm-mm

Is it real? Is it just a fantasy?
'Cause the unknown, the unknown's pulling me

We could leave this place
Freedom ours to chase
What if I escape with you?

What if I escape with you?
What if I escape with you?
What if I escape with you?
What if I escape with you?

Mm, mm-mm, mm, mm-mm
Mm, mm-mm, mm, mm-mm

What if I escape with you?
What if I escape with you?

Chess Coaching

Surreal thing about playing chess is that even after playing all your life you'll still come across new opening positions you haven't seen before...
Key is to spend a bit of time looking through with a computer (and/or a coach) so you instinctively know what to do.
I'm feeling pretty sharp chesswise book me for coaching!


For a beginner understanding chess openings and what to play is quite a task!
When I coach I teach general principles yet I also do share my opening systems that often I've worked on all my life...
I'm at the stage now where I can get the concepts shared even in one hour's of coaching...
Openings are key and few people understand them. Book me up!
