I started playing chess (regularly) in the last year, thanks COVID!. I learned to play chess 30 years ago but haven't played since. I enjoy it now to help with my mental well-being and booting up some grey brain cells that have nearly given up on me.

I aim to get my kids playing chess as well, a tough challenge for two teens, but we'll keep nagging! I might start streaming on Twitch to be an even more embarrassing parent. If that's even possible!

My goal this year is to get to a 1200 rating. Live time goal would be 1500's. This is a stretch, but we will see. DREAM BIG! lol
