About Me:
I am an amateur player of chess. I am not new to the game, as I learned how to play by the age of 10. I have learned some good theory on the last few months (since I joined Chess.com).
I am a Computer Engineering student, graduating in 2012. I study in one of the best rated universities of Brazil, and I live in one of the most technologically developed cities in the country. So I am very happy, for studying what I like in a proper environment.
I like to eat pizza, with Coke, while watching a movie or staring at one of my chess games, although I'm not fat.
If you want to challenge me, don't expect me to accept it. I may not, if I already have too many games going on or if there's a lot of games starting in the next few days (as when waiting for a tournament to start).
I may take a little while to move. I like to think a lot before moving when under pressure, and I don't move if I think I'm sleepy (although I may stare at the position, just in case an idea pops, that I'll write it down and move on the next morning, when not sleepy and able to see what weaknesses it may cause).
I'm a Linux user, currently on Ubuntu.
