I learned chess at age 7 from a good friend's father. He taught both of us, but I was the one who really took to it. I played until age 13 and enjoyed the chess club and school tournaments. When I got to high school, chess faded away as other teenage interests took root.

After a 25 year absence, I rediscovered my love for the game through this website.  Thank you chess.com!
