About Me

Sverre Johnsen
I am a chess player, but for the time being not very active in tournament chess. I have been playing chess since 1978 but am not particularly strong by master standards. My FIDE rating is now 2172, and my peak rating was 2250 in the mid-nineties. I am married and have a son, Jonatan, who was born February 7, 2006. My native language is Norwegian, so please bear with my far from perfect English.
