I learned chess during my sophomore year of high school. After a surgery where I couldn't play sports anymore but I was always competitive so I learned how to play chess. I can't say I'm any good yet but I'm working my way up the ladder. I'm happy to play a game any time if it fits my schedule. I am now attending the University. So I don't compete in tournaments so much anymore since I'm trying to figure out what to do with my life, I'm hoping to do some underground chess training, so I can take the world by surprise some day in the game of chess. Who knows.

Current Chess Goals:

Don't Blunder

Be more accurate
