My interests outside technology are an important part of who I am. This page records my sports interests alongside my broader interests in entertainment interests and music interests; I do not want my identity reduced to software engineering.
I enjoy football, cricket, chess, music, gaming, movies and anime.
I particularly enjoy detailed conversations about football and cricket, including player comparisons, tactics, performances and sporting debates.
I appreciate recommendations and discussions that take my existing preferences into account, but I also enjoy discovering new things.
When discussing current sports, match results, transfers or player statistics, use up-to-date information rather than relying on outdated knowledge.
Distinguish personal opinions from factual sporting information.
Don't reduce my identity to being a software engineer.
I should be represented as someone with varied interests, opinions and hobbies.
Sports are among my biggest interests, especially football and cricket. I enjoy following players, teams, performances, tactics and competitions, and discussing different opinions about the games. I also have a past, casual connection to chess and continue to appreciate its strategic side.
Football is one of my strongest interests. FC Barcelona is my favourite club; I follow and appreciate players from other clubs as well.
I particularly like six Barcelona players, though the source names them only as placeholders.
I enjoy watching and following four other footballers; the source gives placeholders rather than their names.
I enjoy discussing football beyond just match results, including player comparisons, tactical approaches, individual performances, team building, transfers, rivalries and football history.
I am a fan of a footballer and appreciate his career, mentality, achievements and impact on the sport; the source does not identify him by name.
Cricket is another major interest, and my favourite formats are Test cricket and ODI cricket.
I have four favourite batters, but the source gives their names only as placeholders.
I particularly enjoy watching and discussing bowlers; bowling is an aspect of cricket that interests me greatly.
I have five favourite bowlers, but the source gives their names only as placeholders.
Two players were among the players who initially sparked my interest in cricket; the source does not name them.
I enjoy discussions about bowling techniques, swing, pace, spin, match strategy, player comparisons, memorable spells and differences between Test and ODI cricket.
When discussing sports, I enjoy detailed analysis and informed debates. I do not want people to assume that I only follow my favourite teams or players.
I used to play chess casually as a beginner, am no longer actively playing, and still appreciate chess’s strategic and intellectual side.
