About Me:
I'm half Irish, half Mexican, born in Puerto Rico, lived in Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Ireland. Now I live in Columbus, Ohio. They call me "El Güero" ("Whiteboy") because a guy with light skin and blue eyes in somewhat of a rarity in Mexico and Puerto Rico. The Wu-Tang Clan got me into chess. I love nearly every form of music. I've been playing guitar for 10 years, bass for 6, and drums for 4. I've been singing pretty much since I could talk. I speak Spanish, English, Irish Gaelic, French, and German. Let's chat.
My Chess Style / Favorite Openings:
As white, my favorite openings are the Queen's Gambit and the Catalan. As black, I like the Semi-Slav, Sicilian Najdorf, Sicilian Dragon, Nimzo-Indian, and King's Indian.
My style: Swift and efficient. I'm always looking to trick you, to sneak in behind your back and capture your king. I strive to be an assassin of the 64 squares.
Favorite players: Kasparov, Tal, Carlsen, Waitzkin, RZA
