For those of you in Northern California, Jay and I will be helping run a casual blitz chess tournament at the Plug-n-Play Tech Center in Sunnyvale on May 5th. It's mostly about getting some of the engineers and entrepreneurs in the area together for some friendly games and drinks.

Details are here:

Would be fun to see some of you in person :)

Yes, I am the guy who started Chess.com (along with Jay, Igor, Piotr, and many others). I have 3 amazing daughters, one wild son, and a wonderful, patient wife! I learned chess when I was 8 years old. Since then I have been playing, studying, and enjoying it regularly. I prefer semi-open and closed positions that blow up tactically (like the Closed Sicilian, King's Indian, Glek etc).
