Birthday: Sep 15, 1995
I love playing video games. My favorite is Gears of War, which I play routinely for hours at a time. I learned how to play chess from my great-grandpa, and have been playing since. My great-grandpa was a Grandmaster and taught me everything I know, and raised me for the first seven years of my life. My favorite chess book is called Chess: Polgar. It's a 1,000 page book with all different scenarios, problems, combinations and openings. I read this book when I was 12 and refer to it daily. I run the chess club at my school, which competes in local, national and international tournaments. Besides losing to my great-grandpa, I have only ever lost four matches in my life (one locally, two internationally, one on chess.com) I once met my hero Gata Kamsky, one of the greatest chess players in the world. To sum it up, I'm your typical New Yorker, have an iq of 133, and am an absolute chess addict!
