About Me:
My passion for Chess resides in a form of a hobby & a form of art!
An avid admirer of the old school: the unofficial WCC years, to the Hyper-Modernism era, till Post-War.
Reasonably comfortable with the Ruy Lopez, English/Reti, Pirc/Modern, Closed Sicilian & Benoni - though I may vary from the A00/B00 (except the Barnes & Lemming).
Preferred tools: Silman, Watson, Soltis, Pachman, Muller, Dvoretsky & Convekta’s TCT – along with puzzles from Nunn & Polgar (Laszlo).
I’m a fan of David Bronstein & Judit Polgar.
Was active in OTB till college, but it’s been narrowed down to Turn-Based or Blitz on Yahoo :-)
Grateful to my dad and uncle for “converting” me at age 9, thankful that the age of the net gave rise to Chess sites like this and blessed to have found like-minded addicts = Cheers! [Formerly known as Allygirl]
