I love to play tennis and volleyball. I played at a tennis academy for about a year, which was led by two pros. Not the best player but could play a decent point. I play volleyball twice a week with the same group of people at the country club. I'm not that good and being only 5' 7" don't got much height to work with.
I love the game of chess because it's like tennis on a board. I started playing chess in February. I had played chess here and there before that, but that wasn't serious at all. I play the Italian game as white and Sicilian as black.
