My name is Zander. I'm going to be at the top someday. Once I beat the coach of my chess club I know I'll be the best(considering the age difference). I want to teach chess one day, if you read my blogs(which do teach you) that would make me as happy as could be.  My favorite chess player would have to be Magnus Carlsen, not because he's the highest rated, but because of how savage he can be at chess. My favorite opening for white is the Queen's gambit, because I'm a lower level player and it works well. My favorite defense for black would have to be the Alekhine's or the Indian Defenses. Please read my blogs on them!😭

• My favorite color is black, because I prefer to play as it in chess and it matches with everything. Also I stay up late so it's easy on the eyes. I wanted Ding Liren to win the 2024 World Chess Championship. After all Ding Chilling.My favorite flavor of Ice Cream is Cookie Monster, for those of you that don't know it just remember mine as cookie dough. It's more common.
