"You must take your opponent into a deep dark forest where 2+2=5, and the path leading out is only wide enough for one." - Mikhail Tal.

I use this site to experiment with the openings and ideas. Since it is an experiment sometimes I play unsound (crazy). Well, but if you play against me, you have to live with it... My play is unsound only if you can prove it is.

I was born in Lithuania (Eastern Europe) but spent last 13 years in North America. I have learned to play chess in Vilnius School of Chess back in Soviet era.

On this site I do not use Analysis Board and try to play like I would play OTB games - I do not move pieces unless it is the move. Since I started doing it, my rating dropped almost 250 points... oh well. Hope this will improve my OTB games.
