I started my chess career at the age of 10 against my father. By the time I was 16, I was lettering in chess at school. My Passion for chess has been a nurturing pursuit with my curious nature and my desire to see the diffrent variations on the game around the world. Forty three countries so far. Chess has been an opportunity to learn not just about the game, but about the people and places that my life has brought.  Check me out at http://blackbearstudios.shutterfly.com
