Merry Christmas

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Whatever your standard, and whatever your results in 2019, enjoy your chess. It makes life a little richer.

Ricky Gervais: It's Christmas. I've opened my presents. I've been for a walk and met loads of dogs in jumpers. Now I'm on the champagne again, listening to The Velvet Underground and playing computer chess before the nut roast. Perfect.
