About Me
- Name: transformation
- Location: Tacoma-Seattle, Washington, United States
Born in New Jersey and educated in New York, after practicing architecture, I lived in a zen temple in Korea, did a long stint on Wall Street as a Senior Broker, studied with a guru who lived with Maharishi in India, did a gigantic stint at a big box retailer in building materials. * Most recently was running a Cloud Computing start-up in NJ, but starting over here in Tacoma where people are very nice, and where--aside from out of mainstream urbanism--I love the weather. * Me? I try to be pretty straightforward in my conduct. In 2012 worked for a crazy big company, and wonder why, but what is it called, a market. * I am not easily forgotten. Vanity? Yes. But it is also true that the older I get, the less can I be ignored. I have things to say, and say them. Take it or leave it, I am who I am. I have paid my dues. I have done my time.

Thanks, David. That's a lovely photograph--I think I've seen it here before. I'm beginning where I left off, with a slow perusal of Minev's "A Practical Guide to Rook Endgames". Endgames fascinate me, and Yasser wrote the introduction.
nikolai minev is a friend of Yassers, and lives in the same building Yasser lived in for many years, but the latter sold his condo and moved to amsterdam.
i often think i should call IM Minev, but await a better level in chess by me. i cannot afford coaching, but there are fifty good teachers or masters here... and i am sure these great players or friends of their friends could make an appropriate introduction, but i have copiously not asked for one.
just as i have not asked GM Seirawan for a blitz game on the internet, which i can have at any time, so i wish to get a bit better, first. i hope one day i found that i did not miss my chance.
i believe mr minev stuggles with some problems with his vision or sight, too, so do not wish to bother him, nor have i any chess pedigree, and leave him to his work undisturbed.
warmly, dk
