Welcome to my bio page. Please read fully.

Tim Phonkrum (me, AI didn’t write this) is an average Genius user and a large chess.com user. I enjoys seeing people grow in chess skills.

Usually happy to play anything unrated, I prefer randomly matched 5|0 and 10|0. Challenge me for an unrated daily or rated.

No live game challenges please. I usually don’t play live and I won’t take one just because. I am on unpredictably and don’t care when anyone else is (guys we all, hopefully, have a life and purpose outside of cc also) but I fall in EST/EDT if you want to.

Be respectful. I try really hard to be very respectful and keep the world here happy, and it’s very annoying people go out of their way to hate others. Just be respectful and I’ll leave it as I found it.

I spend most (some days, all) of my time on chess.com in forums. I generally dabble in popular ones and friends’s ones, but sometimes a random cool one has my name all over it. Hope I helped with it at all or at least I was good to it.

I changed my PFP (goodbye green galaxy pawn) a while back, when I overhauled my bio. I generally tweak it a but and change it completely when I feel the need.

Hope you enjoyed reading. Message me and tell me anything I should change about this!

Random artwork I think is cool ⤵
