Hello! My name is Gabriel. I am a 14-year-old chess player from Seattle. I enjoy playing OTB tournament chess a lot, but I still like the extra possibilities provided by online chess, especially for training purposes.

My blog includes interesting and instructive games I have analyzed, both some of mine and some GM games from top-level tournaments.
