A little bit about me...
Hi. My name is Graham Banks. I am a retired teacher, who started teaching at primary and intermediate schools before moving to Edgewater College, where I taught for over 30 years. My main interests are music (rock and heavy rock mainly), sports and chess. I am a co-founder of the world's most recognized computer chess testing group (CCRL), which carries out testing of chess software to provide rating lists.
