Experience
Past/Present clients I've been playing in chess tournaments in the United States and Canada since 1972. I've won many tournaments in both countries and I'm ranked as a Canadian Expert. I've also written articles for chess magazines and one of my best victories ever is featured here:
The development scheme White arrives at is one in which the Bishop at b2 combined with the Knight at f3 (sometimes a pawn on f4), take control of the squares d4 and e5. One main advantage of this opening is that it doesn't require a wide scope of opening knowledge as it has a few relatively important positions to know and which will be reached most of the time.
