About Me:

Well lets see... My name is Matt, I'm 19 years old. I really love chess and hope to play it professionally one day (yeah, a longshot, I know). In that fashion I've been studying quite a bit. If you ever have some interesting tidbit or amazing game you want to show me please do! Anything chess interests me. On a sidenote, I do work as a coach occasionally. If your chess.com rating is lower than, lets say 1600, and you're looking to learn send me a message and maybe we could work something out. Alright I guess that's it! If you ever want a game send me a challenge! No promises I'll be able to accept but it's nice to have the option :P. -matt

Lasker's Defense

Submitted by ih8sens on Feb 9, 2012 6:58am.

Just a quick game I played at the club yesterday.  A few annotations are included, as I normally do.  I know a lot of people find defenses like Laskers QGD to be dry, but the fact is that many d4 players have answers to even the sharpest defenses (...Read more »
