About Me:

Ziryab introduced chess to Europe in the ninth century. I'm a universal player with a strong sense of history. I particularly appreciate lessons from the games of Lasker, Kramnik, Karpov, Gligoric, Morphy, Greco, Benko, and Seirawan.

I'm a scholastic tournament organizer that put together the largest state event in 2009.
