His favorite pawns are Harry, Airy, Eddie and Simon shows how to get down to chess business and to ram them down the throat of his opponents. Having played in the British chess championships he is also often invited to comment on the games in Spain, Iceland, the UK and everywhere (such as Germany's ChessBase) else as well as to get his thoughts and words down on DVDs.
