I gained knowledge to play chess in 1984 at the age of 25(a individual in the military taught me the moves) and I have liked the game since. I played postal chess in the late 80s for a while but due to personal circumstances stopped playing, came back to the game in the 2008 and reality enjoying the favorably vibe, I get from Chess. Com.. Chess is a science, art, sport(competition/fight), but it is fun and enjoyable. I like the game because of the large # of expressing favorable results. My favorite chess player is Robert James "Bobby" Fischer. My favorite chess opening is Ruy Lopez. Also, I enjoy gambits opening and the aggressive attacking styles of play(the technique/strategy really makes the game fun). Some others favorite chess players of mine are Jose Raual Capablanca, Emanuel Lasker, Frank Marshall, Paul Morphy, and William Steinitz . Some of my favorite chess players from the great state of South Carolina are Richard Cohen, Patrick Hart, Dr. Philipp Lamby, Jeff Seltzer and Charles Walter. From SC chess.com I like Hawima, Soundso's, BruiserMac and Clemson Tiger. My aim is to reach a chess.com rating of 1900+. My wish is to play chess.com player and teacher Matt Helfst(Patzer24) over the internet one day! Chess is very beautiful and difficult and it will be played for many years to come. Chess is a world that is open to everyone, whatever your age, sex, or background. But for people who are outside that world, who may know little or nothing about the game - and you might be one of those people--chess too often seems like rarefied pastime, impossibly complicated and difficult to learn. Chess is actually accessible to just about anybody who is willing to put in the time and effort to learn it.
