Enthusiastic chess player with a passion for outdoor sports

in #introduceyourself6 years ago (edited)

Hello there Steemit community! I have been posting for a few months now but have never got round to making an introductory post.

Here is a picture of me on a giant inflatable water course in Spain.

I like to live life to the fullest and have many interests including outdoor adventurous activities, chess and cryptocurrency.

I also enjoy sea swimming all year round and love cold water immersion!

Here is a picture of me rock climbing in the Peak District, an area known for it's rock climbing in the North of England.

I actually have a first class honours degree in Outdoor Activities Management and went on some very exciting trips as part of the course, including a bouldering trip to Fontainebleau and kayaking down the river Wye, where at one point i had to get out of a kayak and push a fallen tree out of the way so we could continue our expedition.

I also have a real passion for chess and represented England as a junior. I went to the same chess club as the now famous Luke McShane who is now a strong Grand Master.

I hope to become at least a FIDE master one day and am intending on playing in some strong tournaments over the next few years, including the Hastings Masters. Here is a picture of me playing in the Dorset Open chess congress where i scored 3/5.
