My name is Kristine Mae Mariano, a 32 years old chess player from the Philippines, presently teaching chess and being a dedicated Elementary Teacher developing young brains I make sure that my student has the same passion that I am passionate with when it comes to playing chess.

Outside the classroom, I am engaged as a Writer in my chess.com blog where I comment, analyze, depict informative, gratifying and narrate stories from the chess board. All the pieces are part of this tale, the story of my existence in the world of chess, the story of a game that never fades and keeps revealing new aspects.

In the FIDE rating system, I had a ratings of 1888, and the accomplishment was earned through long hours of training per day, as well as countless games I took part in. Being the FIDE ID 5205182, is a privilege to be able to share my passion with millions of others throughout the World, all interested in playing this ancient and exiting game.
