Don't judge my cover...read the pages inside me .. I'm a regular person, just like you. Obviously the main reason why I'm here is my love for chess. This site gave me so much pleasure in learning proper, and basic  chess principles, becoming a better player (sometimes addictive) and made me befriend alot of good friends from all over the world.I had many great friends around, but no one was more kind and close than "Safa", without mentioning his/her user name, among other great friends too.  There are a lot of people who had influence on me on chess.com, among those were 2 coaches - Both RetGuvvie98 and NM ChessNetwork taught me a lot about chess. The Former was your classical chess mentor, both on and off the Chess board and focuses on tactics, the latter teaches you basic principles and solid-positional play. The rest was my own personal hard work since October 2008, yet both have my utmost gratitude and I'd recommend them to anyone who'd like to have a chess coach. As a chess player, I'm a life long fan of Mikhail Tal as my chess idol, among the other great players I like. Because I was so interested in his play and personality, I managed to become an admin of one of his groups here.Apart from chess, my hobbies are: Drawing, playing and coaching Football (soccer), Music (usually classical and soundtracks) used to play the guitar and love flamenco music too, video gaming, learning new languages, nature and wildlife, studying history, mathimatics and scientific theories all to Geography.I guess I'm lucky to have this much of hobbies.  No offense, but I usually don't accept friend requests of people I don't know, nor group invites at the time being. I always avoid revealing my personal info as well. But nothing wrong of sharing my likes and dislikes.My old profile info and memoirs here? Maybe it was a good idea, or maybe a bad one. Yet for all I know, I'm here to play chess, not to discuss life and my autobiography, I'm not above 50 yet.  I had the pleasure to be interviewed by veggerilie :http://www.vimeo.com/13789485I also interviewed kohai, here is the interview blog: http://blog.chess.com/Misha/3-years-of-a-kohai2 احلى اغنية في تاريخ ديرتي الله يخليها سالمة ويحفظها انشاءالله
