The picture above is my Father In-Law and while he still has his sense of humor, he no longer recognizes chess as a game he used to play. On the bright side he still enjoys things such as going to the aquarium, finding odd items at the beach, and boats of any kind.

I am finding more time to play chess (hurrah!) thanks to a new larger cell phone and the chess.com app. Still doesn't stop me from making goofy mistakes though.

A shout out to Mathiesh who I almost got into checkmate the last game we played. But as always he manages to sneak away and squish me. Darn good player especially in the late game. Give him a challenge or two.

I am also playing against Bulgierd who is also beating me senseless in chess. Good player give him a challenge.

As always I aim to improve my chess game, but I am not very good as of yet (more of an instinctual player than strategic one). Please feel free to give me a Daily challenge and the time of writing I am in the high 1100's.

 

 

 

Welcome to my quiet corner of Chess.com!

I have loved this game as a child but never had anyone who wanted to play. Playing against a computer is handy but it doesn't compare to the adrenaline rush of playing against another person.

I finally bit the bullet and joined this website to learn tactics (I need lots of help with) and to play against people.

The best way to describe my current style of game play is: "Wow, did I just get lucky!"

I am somewhere between a beginner and intermediate, and I am always interested in a new game. Please feel free to send a game request.

My ultimate goal is to get good enough to lose at competitions happy.png
