I've been playing club level chess since 1977, but after a lowish peak a couple of years in have tended downwards rather than up. Since lockdown I've played more than ever, but still only go up to come back down again. Ah well, such is life!
The picture is a couple of years before Covid - me and some old mates in the best pub on Planet Earth.
