About Me:
I have had private chess lessons for years as a kid, but I gave up on it when I became a teenager, and never played again until I discovered chess.com very recently. Right now my chess is very rusty and I am here to practice. I see chess as a mind exercise, and that is the reason of my return. Gaining rating points is not my priority. My main concern is exercising my mind and improving my focus.  I am not shy about accepting my current level, and I am open to friendly help and suggestions. If you have a deep understanding of  methods , and strategies, as an advanced player, and I lose against you, please feel free to point things out, and give me suggestions after the game.   I am very happy with all the videos and training tools this web site supplies. If you are playing correspondence chess with me, and see me not making a move while I am online, there is a good chance I am watching a video or working on a previous game analyses.  Please feel free to say "Hi" if we are playing. Even though I do not talk much during the game, I am happy with friendly greetings, and some decent chat. As far as social life concerned, I am more looking for chess friends I can talk on the subject, exercise together, than casual friends.  I am looking to meet you over the virtual board.

Having a Strategy

Submitted by Hermes3 on Apr 5, 2010 3:39am.

My view on chess started to change last couple of months. Today I realize, I was spending my games reacting my opponents moves before this mind change. I was looking for some quick tactics, I was never missing a chance of check, and never caring if I...Read more »
