Occupation LIBRORUM et SCRIPTOR
Location Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
Introduction I aim to present games, my own and those of others, which are instructive for average players. After all, there are so many of us. I also occasionally present my opinion on chess matters and the occasional thimble of wisdom on the meaning or otherwise of anything and everything.
Interests Writing, Reading, Chess, Thinking (that's right, Thinking - it's rare these days - look around).
Favorite Movies The Best years of our lives, Laura, Casablanca, The Maltese Falcon, Now Voyager, We're No Angels and many more with clever dialogue in great scripts, and Directors who can actually direct more than just the traffic.
Favorite Music Beethoven 9th Symphony, Fantasia on a theme by Thomas Tallis by Vaughn Williams and for chilling out, anything from Woodstock era or by 'The Band'.
Favorite Books Still writing them.Have finished a detective novel set in the northern suburbs of Melbourne in the 1980s, titled 'Finding Harry'. Available as eBook or in print. See my website https://georgeeraclides.com/

Your people want to make a statue in your honor. What will it be made out of and what victory will it commemorate?

It will be made of gold and celebrate how I survived in this crazy universe with a tiny amount of acquired wisdom and a reasonable sense of humour.
