Working towards becoming a Grandmaster as an adult (I did reach USCF 2111 as a teen, so I’m not starting from scratch). Tracking my progress and posting other chess-related content on my YT, BobbyRunout_OldInChess

I mostly play on Lichess since it’s so much less corny than this site (although to be fair this site has some excellent features that Lichess doesn’t have/match). You can find me on there as wlycdgr

Favorite time control: FIDE classical (so, 90+30 or slower)

Some great content by people who are much better at chess than I am:

When you lose a tough game, try to remind yourself that it's ok: painful losses are an inevitable and important part of the suffering process

Chess is 99% tactics,

and 100% strategy.
