First off, I am a Penguin.. and I am stealthy..16 years old. I hope to improve to master level one day. I learned at the age of 4 however i didnt play much at all until i joined a club at my local library at 9. I didnt really start to study chess until about 12. Any advice on chess is welcome and appreciated. I have never had a chess teacher. I read books and study chess in my spare time (school studies must come first) Good chess to all! Not playing my best "slow" chess lately (most likely because of all the bullet chess games i play on here) so I resigned all of my games and am taking a break. I think that Bobby Fischer put it best when he said, "Speed chess ruins your ideas!" Hopefully I will be able to stay away from bullet for a while, but it's fast, fun, and addicting. So we'll see how long that lasts.. 'Chess, like love, like music, has the power to make men happy' -Siegbert Tarrasch 'I have always a slight feeling of pity for the man who has no knowledge of chess, just as I would pity the man who has remained ignorant of love.' -Siegbert Tarrasch "Chess is for people who want to make an intellectual effort, who have respect for the game, and we shouldn't make the game more simple so that more people would enjoy it." -Boris Gelfand http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=9C_HReR_McQ
