Trying my best to get new people to join Chess.com 

Mattman55 who I am playing an unrated game(s) just to get him warmed up. He has not played chess in a very long time.

Carlos00A who I am also playing unrated games has a wonderful logical mind and should do well once he relearns everything

Shout outs to Mzegilla, Mathiesh, and maRioKuz who I truly enjoy playing against.

Finally, I have to say I am really enjoying the Tactics Trainer - it is forcing my brain to actually think in two dimensions (if that makes any sense). You see, when I look at a piece such as a bishop I see it always leaving my side of the board and attacking "up" to the right or left. With the TT I am starting to see that a bishop can also attack "down" to the left and right.

 

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
