About Me:

Hi, I'm 19 and currently studying Philosophy, Politics and Economics at University. I play on Chess.com as a means of relaxation and as an excuse to put off doing work. My chess style leans towards the positional, but I always aim to give my opponent problems with every move so be warned before playing me! The players I admire most would have to be Aron Nimzowitsch, Mikhail Tal and Gary Kasparov. Apart from chess, I occupy my time by playing the violin and piano, reading, going to the gym, cycling, a bit of gambling and occasionally drinking excessively. Oh yeah, I also LOVE Trance and Dance music. I'm currently rediscovering chess after a break of a few months, so all challenges are welcomed (I may have to postpone the occasional one due to work related pressures, but never for very long) :) Thanks for reading!

Here's some random stuff that might be of interest.


And my fave music video of the moment is.....
