Getting back into playing chess ...

Post by Andrew Walker » Mon Mar 18, 2019 3:09 pm

POSTED on behalf of Tim Clare (details below) - please contact him if you can help

Dear Andrew
Regarding our telephone conversation this afternoon about finding a chess partner to rekindle my game. Over 30 years ago I sustained a spinal injury in a car accident which left me as a permanent wheelchair user (tetraplegic). At the moment I do not have any transport so I am limited to where I can play chess. My new mode of transport is currently waiting adaptations and will take at least nine months. I am looking for a chess partner to improve my game and keep my brain from stagnating. My level of chess has never been rated but I imagine I am of a low club standard. My contact details are as follows ---

Tim Clare
4 Cranbourne Avenue, Windsor, Berks SL4 4ER

Mobile number (07XXX) XXXXXX
Email [email protected]

Please do not hesitate to call if you need any more information. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Many regards, Tim

I am not clear what Tim would find most helpful - I've emailed him, offering to play a couple of games by email with some friendly commentary - waiting to hear.
