English Chess Forum

I thought i do an up date on Peter after some comments about Peter life/ over social isolation and experiments were on here in anther thread.I am sure that others also on here may share these weird ideas about Peter life

Peter at college studying A Level Physics Maths English and BTEC Creative Media Production.
Peter also a member of a trampoline club in which he takes part in competitions and has won medals
Peter also a rather good long distance swimmer.
Peter leads a very active social life meeting with friends doing all the normal thing one would expect a lad of his age to do including playing x box games with his mates Sam/Conner.
Peter also has a girlfriend
His long term aim is to go to university.
Very little chess is played due to the above!

No experiments have been done on Peter as far as i know Tip for today do not believe all you see in a tv programmer which is often cut and pasted to suite the film maker.

Hope this helps now i off to make a cup of tea and lets hope Carol makes anther one of her yummy cakes hint!

Thanks for the update Peter. I personally find it really impressive that Peter jnr. has managed to reach a slowplay grade of 231 at the age of 16 while doing all that. Congratulations to him!

I agree! Peter is a lovely, confident and bright young man! Peter's chess grade is amazing for his age.

Congrats on all his achievements and great to see him happy:)

He is a credit to your family and you must be very proud!

I do hope that Peter doesn't finding playing chess as excruciating as I did being on the ECF board

I think there be less chess. Apart from one last event for this year. I very much doubt we will re-new his membeship of ECF no point if your not playing many chess games.
Good to see the postive posts on here.

At 16? Clearly not the chess prodigy type after all, then.

No but i guess 231 not to bad an ECF grade what do you think?

Truly a 'god' amongst chess players - I think Peter should write a book:

"How to be a super Chess Player and get a girlfriend"

Have we got any stats on this phenomenon?
