About Me:

My name is Mitch Allen, I'm 21 and am from the San Francisco bay area, California. I attend UC Santa Cruz as a 4th year Astrophysics major. I am still a relative beginner in the game of chess, but I am improving quickly =) As white, my favorite opening is the Queen's Gambit, and my favorite openings as black are the Pirc Defense, Slav and Dutch Stonewall.
