About Me:
Am a violin and viola teacher. Many years after graduating conservatory I am finally doing full time music. It feels great! watermanviolin.com is my professional teaching website. I enjoy studying chess as a hobby, teaching to those interested in learning, and am finally using a chess coach. I put in work to have fun! I'm a big fan of Dan Heisman's writing, Silman hasn't appealed to me as much, but I realize a lot of his content is excellent. My rating has dropped considerably off my high here, I had a nice run! But, I'm enjoying focusing more on learning and less on results these. I read/study more than I play. I am not using the analyze board anymore here, to better practice for OTB games. Made A class this past year in OTB play, about 350 pt increase in 1 year! Quite a treat to feel the improvement there. Please note that I have a general rule about only accepting rematches when we talk about the games we play, unless I'm bored :D
