About Me:
I am a 23 year old student living in La. My familly moves from sweden when I was 10 years old.
I have discovered chess some 12 years ago and fell in love ever since.
I love the scholastic aspect of the game. I would love to be able to teach it. I am fortunate enough to have a father whose is extremely interested in the game and has collected over the years a huge collection of books. He has a few titled players amongst his close friends
I always have had a keen interest for problem dealing with logics. And i remember when I first discovered chess, my dad would give me some puzzle to do, I used to love them. Nowadays, I dont have much time for puzzles anymore, I am studying for my PHD in Micro Biology and working part time in a youth center. Lately i have been extremely involved in the running of the Sharks, I see an opportunity to share what I know ( how small it may be).
In the Sharks, i have met people who are dedicated to the game of chess, they are a fun bunch to be around to. I believe we are the fastest growing group on chess.com .
By joining the Sharks, you will be entittled to receive up to two chess books every months FOR FREE!!!!
