Re: General Election 2019
Ray Pearson has been an active player very recently, he is standing in West Derby for the Brexit party, and is less evil than his choice of electoral vehicle might suggest.

Re: DGT USB board for sale.
Does anybody want this, £400 with a DGT XL clock and a copy of whatever Fritz it is that I have knocking about (probably 13). You will have to collect from Flintshire or pay my diesel and wait for me to deliver. If not, it's going on eBay for a slightly higher price, I'll post a link to that advert ...

Here is the link to our webpage. http://welshchess.podbean.com/ I am obviously not very good at editing it on my phone, so the only way it seems to work on a mobile device is to download either the podbean app or...

Re: Rating the metrics.
not very extensively. because I don't really know how to do it. Plus of course it is hard work! What I do with my games is usually look at the opening and where I strayed from book, just try and dig out the next book move or look what weakness has been created by my opponent straying from the book. ...
