I'm Alexander and this is my groovy little chess site. Welcome! My site contains information on openings, planning and tactics, chess thought, and endgames. I have also included three games by Bent Larsen which I have lightly annotated and hope you will find interesting. I have put up my favourite chess links and a few more for good measure. I don't really like the Sicilian defence so I've put up some sicilian games where the player with the black pieces blunders horribly! Please have a look around. I used to have the world news so that people wouldn't have to leave to find out if world war three had begun, but unfortunately I lost it and can't remember how to bring it back.
Please have a look around my site.
