Matthew Carr - Skill
Matthew, 25, is a Dual Honours Creative Computing and Philosophy student at Keele University. He is currently in his third year, and having completed his studies, decided to partake in the World Record Attempt. Matthew is an Official English Chess Federation Arbiter, and has played a key role in acquiring the services of expert witnesses (Dave Welch and Roger Edwards), and in acquiring the equipment necessary to allow this World Record Attempt to take place. When not playing chess or dedicating his time to studies, Matthew is an avid gamer who enjoys playing titles such as Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy, and Devil May Cry. Matthew's strategy in this World Record attempt is to utilise his skill advantage early on to create an insurmountable gulf between himself and his opponent.
