About Me:
I've started playing chess at age of 5. My father was my first teacher. By the age of 7 I've managed to win against him. Mostly I've played with my professors and my friends but I've also observed experienced chess players playing blitz and quick always asking about their tactics. When I was 12 I became a very good chess player (I've won against an CM). I had a lot of encouragement to start playing professionally, but by the age of 14 my interest have moved in favor of girls. Last 20+ years I've rarely played chess. Now I am a father and I hope I'll be as half as good chess trainer as my father was.

I wasn't deliberately precise about my chess experience and I've seen that many players underestimated me only by reading blogs. LOL. I was always very passionate about strategy games and very successful too. I had a rare privilege to play against IMs and CMs. Frankly since that games were unofficial it's not fair to say what was my score. Sometimes I had a strange feeling that they haven't played at their best probably to encourage me a little bit more or perhaps they've only tested my abilities. So, those of you who are reading this be prepared cause I play like a Croatian soccer team. I can win against anyone and I can lose against anyone. I wish you all best of luck.
