Hey there!

This article is all about some puzzles that prove why not castling and leaving your king in the middle is a bad idea. Remember when we were learning chess and everyone said castling is like king armor? Yeah, it's one of those basic tricks. But as we get better, we kind of start ignoring it. Well, today I'm here to remind you with puzzles why castling totally matters. Don't be the one who thinks it's not important! Enjoy the puzzles!



Hi 

Let me tell you a little bit about my chess background. I started playing chess at the age of 8 because I wanted to defeat my best friend at the time. What can I say? I am super competitive, but I have become a better person now!

So after a lot of chess lessons, I became a provincial and national youth champion. Also, I got second place in the Pan American U-20 Championship (2012) and 10th place in the World Youth Chess Championship (2011), and I earned the FIDE Master title at 15. My peak FIDE rating was 2190.


At the moment, I am not playing OTB that much because I am a full-time chess coach.

Well, let's speak about what the blog is about! I have decided to write some articles about my chess experience, my students' stories, and whatever I can share with you that has to do with chess, basically.


Finally, I hope you like at least a few of them, and I am open to any suggestions! So see you around and make your opponents cry, not your friends! happy
