Hi! I'm vitualis the chess noob and I run the "Adventures of a Chess Noob" YouTube channel and blog. I'm learning and having fun with chess!

I restarted playing chess recently after my interest was rekindled by the release of "The Queen's Gambit" on Netflix. I mostly play a couple of games a day and especially enjoy tactical, bombastic, Romantic chess! I document some of my games and learning experiences on my blog and YouTube channel.

When I'm not playing chess in my free time, I enjoy playing through my massive JRPG backlog! Watch my streams of game playthroughs on Twitch and past recordings on my Noob Plays JRPGs YouTube channel.

Don't miss out on my books!
