I am a very weak player but I will know when you blunder or make a mistake and I will punish you for it. I accept all post-Morten analysis requests from otb opponents if they are good sports (only exceptions are if I have an emergency). My good chess days are gone. I am pretty washed up but I still love the game overall.  Now my main hope is to expand and help chess grow in nearby areas. because I believe chess has a positive impact to the community.  I should have lost to a 700 in one of the online tourneys. My main goal is to achieve an equal or better position and hopefully be "strong enough" to "hang on" my advantage and not drop pieces (no pun intended) 

I have no problem playing kids but  as I got older, I've become increasingly afraid of little children especially when they scream and cry for no good reason and when I don't understand why (luckily kids I've played in the chess world are mature and bright enough not to do that). I hate online chess tournaments after what happened 4 years ago and my online USCF is like 1100 strength. I take more risks online than I do OTB. I have no choice but to play online because I can only play at most 10 OTB tourneys a year (if lucky).  

Outside of the competitive chess atmosphere  and work life,  I love making chess jokes and puns to further ignite my love and interest of the game. I used to solve Rubik's cubes like crazy during covid (I'm super slow but I still enjoy it. I haven't done it in years and my PB is 17 secs. I probably avg somewhere between 25-30 sec now). I also enjoy photography, travelling to cities and places with parks with cool lakes and rivers.  

Below is a pic of my favorite city, NYC. Picture taken in August 2019, 2 months before I started my birthday tradition of "listing" 

Below is a pic of my second favorite city, Boston. I visited there for part of my birthday celebration in 2022 (Picture taken the weekend before I made my prayerlist) 

 Salt Lake City ✔️ Pic taken right after my bday in 2023.  Funny guy below was ready to play 1 f4 against me LOL.
