Born 04/05/1976Currently living in Alnwick, Northumberland, England. Daniel has been a chess professional for over twenty years, in which time he has played in many tournaments both in the U.

Daniel has taken high placing in the British chess championships and on several occasions has placed in a tie for second. He is also the two times winner of the English rapid play championships. In 2005 he scored his final Grandmaster norm in a tournament in Gibraltar, where he scored a 2693 performance. In that tournament he played against several world-class grandmasters, including Nakamura, Aronian, Sutovsky and Dreev, and only lost one game.
