About Me:
My Dad taught me chess when I was 6. I wasn't too interested at first, so he told me that the Queen was the most powerful piece on the board. That caught my attention!
I played to a pretty high level until I graduated from high school, but then just stopped. A few months ago I played a friend and realized just how much I have missed this game. I then found this site and got completely addicted to it...
Lijandra means "sleet" in Lithuanian. I figure if my oponents feel like they've been hit by sleet, then I played the game well.
