Blue Horizon Chess Blog charts the journey of a patzer on his way to (hopefully) becoming a half-decent chess player!

Rated a fairly average 94 (ECF), Dave, currently living in Bristol, plays for Horfield Chess Club and is captain of the D team.

Having dabbled in the school chess club I didn’t start playing chess with any purpose until I was 23 (in 2003). I’m determined to improve and in this blog I will share some of my thoughts and experiences along the way. I can be found playing correspondence chess at ChessWorld.net - so if you fancy a game you can look me up under the alias ‘BlueHorizon‘.
