Chessmates

I learnt the basics of Chess from my beloved dad in the 80s and continue to enjoy playing it. In the 90s, played frequently with Venu. We even bunked classes and rushed home to play! During the 2000s, it was the world chess network. On certain days, I have played the entire daily limit of 12 free games! At one time, the annual subscription to the chess network was a birthday gift from my wife (‘the wife’ is correct English but it feels impersonal). In 2020-21, the pandemic rekindled the interest. I made a couple of videos:
