"My parents bought me a plastic chess set when I was young and I taught myself to play from books. I joined USCF and started playing in tournaments in high school. I have beat a couple of experts, but never a master. I was never a club officer or won a championship. I stopped playing chess during my working years, but started playing OTB again after I retired."
