About Me:
I'm 39 years old living in Arlington, Texas. Born and raised. The baseball team in this town, well if you keep up with baseball, you know. But I do love the sport as well as football and hockey. 5 Vince Lombardi Trophies and 1 Lord Stanley's Cup !!!
My Chess Style / Favorite Openings:
I approach chess much the same way that I approach life. No particular structure or routine, maybe to my detriment, but I just open and try to get a feel for what is happening. Against superior players, that doesn't get it done, I know. I have lost some heartbreakers because I either lose focus or I get caught up cleaning the back row of an opponent and leave myself exposed... I love the game because it teaches me about life.
