About Me:
Hello! I haven't been a member of chess.com too long, so this is kind of new to me. I started playing chess at the age of 4. (I thought it was more fun than checkers). I eventually got so interested that my dad found a chess tourney and let me play in it .That was when I was 7. I have been playing for 5-6 years now, and I have climbed up to a peak rating of 1643 at my highest. I have played in a lot of tournaments, and I hope to improve. I prefer playing tactical openings and B vs. N positions, no matter which piece I have. My favorite openings are the Trompowski Attack and the Botvinnik System for White, and the Sicilian Kan and the KID for Black. Incidentally, I listen to metal, which is usually very offbeat. CHILDREN OF BODOM! I also listen to many other styles of music, except country, because thats just tacky. My favorite TV show is the Simpsons, who some people think is stale, but I think it is funny. If you want to know more, please read my chess.com blog and comment. Thank You.
