Hi all,

I am no chess master. Simply a guy with a normal busy life who started late. I don't know how to play perfect chess, but I know how to improve and wish to share what helped me move from 1000 elo to 2100 on chess.com in roughly four years. Nine times out of ten, you should listen to a GM instead of me, but I have one and only strength over that of a master: I remember what it's like to be a complete beginner.

I enjoy playing rapid games, anything between 30-0 and 10-0. My advice will be directed towards people who enjoy the same time controls, but any non-master wishing to improve will find something in my posts.

I hope you find some useful stuff in my writing to keep improving while having fun!
