I’d like to add that I’d attended a training camp in Zagreb with Garry Kasparov prior to achieving my GM title. It was reassuring to hear Garry’s words upon hearing about my 5 narrow final GM norm misses. It helped me finally break the UK’s GM record. Huge thanks to Kasparov Chess

Thanks for everyone's support during the British C'ship! I enjoyed coming out of retirement for my first Swiss tournament in 3 years ♟👴🏻 Obviously gutted to have come within 1 move of winning the title, but this was Gawain's year. Many congrats to him and Shreyas! 🏆

I am delighted that my first commissioned article for the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (ODNB) has been accepted for publication. Hopefully there will be more to come.

1988-2025-20?? Tomorrow brings my first chess sessions of 2025. From 1988 to 2025, I have footholds across five decades when it comes to chess delivery. The full story may one day be told. I am definitely older and perhaps just a shade wiser. Watch out, 2025!

Tomorrow brings my first chess sessions of 2025.

From 1988 to 2025, I have footholds across five decades when it comes to chess delivery.

The full story may one day be told.

I am definitely older and perhaps just a shade wiser. 

Watch out, 2025!
