Hi,
I started playing chess some years back and it has been one of my dearest hobbies ever since. I was looking to improve so i began working on different aspects of my game by reading numerous books. Unfortunately, books didn't do the trick. After that i rarely played and now here i am playing as much and learning as much as i can. Chess is capable of changing your life, or it might just be addictive - i don't know.
Mathematics is something else that i am interested in. It may seem odd to be interested in it, but there's a lot more to it than most people think, and we can only know more about it in the future.
I'm also a keen bodybuilder. I started 5 years back, but have managed to keep it up until now. I hope to keep going.
I like playing online chess instead of live, as the time element in live is rather disconcerting. Challenge me to anything that falls into the standard range (longer than 14 mins - unrated), and i'll be happy to give you a game.
When it comes to music, my taste is quite strange (apparently) - but that's how i am. I am a fan of four chess legends: Fischer, Tal, Kasparov and Capablanca, and i've been looking at their games for a long time now. Out of these, i admit that I look forward to seeing Tal's games more because of his attacking genius. I guarantee that if you ever fancy a game i'll be happy to give you one (after all it is only for fun). Now i will share with you my favourite quotations on chess:
'Personally, I rather look forward to a computer program winning the world chess championship. Humanity needs a lesson in humility' - Richard Dawkins
'Life is a kind of Chess, with struggle, competition, good and ill events' - Benjamin Franklin.
'Chess is the gymnasium of the mind'. - Adolf Anderssen
