About Me:
I live in Connecticut (USA). I am 11 years old. My friend taught me how to play chess, and since then I've been obsessed with it. I also play piano, violin and hockey. I have a USCF membership and I've done 5 tournaments. My rating is 1324. I'll be doing more tournaments soon. I recently won $350 off of a tournament!
Lately my opening repertoire has been the Sicilian Dragon (thank you aabbccdd for getting me into it), the Queen's Gambit Declined, Tarrash as Black, and rarely the Italian Game, Guicco Piano. I open with 1.e4, so I play the Sicilian as white alot also.
I consider my self more of a tactical player, it is fun to play a sharp attacking game =) I used to be a positional player, but it wasn't really my style... and by the way, I accept challenges!
I won't be playing any games with anyone with ratings below 1000 or above 1800, I want to play people my own skill! Also, I want at least 3 days per move, even though I am premium and have auto timeout protection.
My group Chess Maniacs would love to have more members! If you join, I will give you a trophy.
School has started, so I won't be on at all from about 7:50 am to 3:15 pm Mondays through Fridays.
My best friends on this site (the coolest people ever!!!) are kid_of_chess (a fellow hockey fan) and Omicron (very very kind)

This is a puzzle I found on another site. If you need a hint look at the following text:
In this position, black is stuck. only the knight and queen can move. The queen can only move back and forth, but the knight can hop about. Get rid of it, and look for a way to mate the king. Remember, if the king is stuck, try to smother mate it. Only one piece can do that... oh, and remember: you want to smother mate the king on b3... and you have to get there while the queen is on a1 (or else she'll just take the knight)...think about tempo.
Good luck!
