Chess Gift

A chess friend who knows I've been studying attacking chess the last few months just sent me an amazing gift this week.

Thank you, friend! (You know who you are.)

From 2012 to 2017 I pursued aggressive adult improvement (starting at age 43). I recorded my journey here as I gained over 400 rating points over two years, peaking at 1753 USCF in 2015. After taking a multi-year break to complete my doctorate, I returned to competitive chess in 2024.
