I first learned chess from my father and refined my learning while taking chess as an elective in middle school. I was Vice-President of the chess club in High School and continue to play when I can including accepting challenges from students at the local college.
I enjoy chess.com because I can play from home or from work when no so busy and I take advantage of this.
I try to avoid the cliches while keeping my game strong. I avoid e4 when I play white for example.
I keep learning a lot every time I play chess and plan to continue playing for the foreseeable future.
