About Me:
I learned chess wehn I was four years old, because my dad taught me. I hated chess because I always lost. Then in fourth grade, for Spring break, my family went to Puerto Rico and our hotel had a giant chess set. All because of the giant chess set, I liked chess all of a sudden and actually beat my mom fourteen out of sixteen times during that week! In fifth grade, my friend introduced me to scholastic tournaments, and we started the school's chess team. During the first round of my first chess tournament ever, I got scholar's mated by a 300! I gradually improved until this past school year when my rating jumped from the 1100's to 1600! Now my plans for the future are to become a good orthodontist, make lots of money so I can retire early, then play as much chess as possible and hopefully become a grandmaster! P.S. If anybody knows if Tactics Trainer reflects your real inner rating, please tell me, because that would be so cool!!!
