Introduce Yourself Here !

Hi ! I am 20 year old . Chess Enthusiast . I just want to Improve , Improve and Improve !!

I learnt Chess when I was 14 but did not play more than 2-3 games next 2 years . Then I suddenly found Chess.com in 2011 at 16 and fell in Love with chess

We can play Training Games in specific Openings / Play Specific Positions where we feel Uncomfortable . This is a Great way to Eradicate your weaknesses

I love learning in a group or with someone . Looking forward to it

Intro Chess Experience rather ?

Hello, I´m a chesslover and just want to improve my skills.

My dream is to become a GM, although I`m aware that it´s not possible anymore in this life. LOL

I dont think So but It is another topic . So we should not start a heating debate Why you can get GM !!

Just enjoy the game and do correct training . No one can stop you . 

This is not for Motivating , but a Truth . Magnus said if you start late then still you can Become GM but not World Champ for Obvious reasons but I request everyone not to start another topic on " age "  

Thank you

I do hope you´re right. Sometimes our own minds block us, and stop us to fly. 

hello my name is Anurag Sarkar and  i am 11 years old

I'm Tim. Began playing with my Granddaddy as a kid. Enjoyed playing it, ran an elementary school chess club 15 or so years ago.  Started playing & studying again as a way to relax.

hi my name is Max Hao. I played for 3 years. I am 8.

Hi, I'm Richi. I used to play once a month or so with my Grandad as a child. So learnt the rules and movements then, but after many years of regretting never attempting to play for a club I started playing slightly more seriously during march this year. I am 27 years old and have become something of a junkie.

Everyone has interesting story

I meant Chess junkie btw!!

I am Christine, i learned chess at a young age and do love it

before i joined chesskid and chess.com, i played with my brother OTB

i am 12

and right now my rating is not very amazing 

Hi, I've had a bit more life experience than you all but I too love chess.  Chess is an enjoyable way to relax and improving is fun.  I learned to play chess in grade school back in 1951 and have played off and on over the years.  I only got hooked by Chess.com about 6 years ago and play a lot but improve very little because my memory isn't too good any more.

Hi! I'm a beginner (more or less...) improving slowly. I had "no time for chess" but for some strange kind of reason chess interested me more than relaxing so finally I choosed to relax myself playing chess. I usually analyze my games trying to recreate some critical positions / plans, then I let Stockfish and Fritz annotate a bit, to understand things more.

Reading Complete Idiot's Guide to chess and guess waht? It's not for idiots, at all!

Reposted from my Chess.com profile homepage: "Played as a kid and then strictly at the coffee house, bar, and jailhouse level. Trying to become a serious tournament player, but starting out for fun with the coffee house type games."

As a postscript: I played a couple thousand games of ten minute blitz chess and that got me from being a 900 Blitz player up to 1200, but then my rating began to rollercoaster from 1000 to 1200.  I went into a slump and began losing games with awful blunders. I enrolled in Chess University. I'm back in the 1050 range, but I can see my game is improved. In the rapid games I started, I still tend to make snap moves and I've blown some winning positions against more thoughtful players. I started playing blitz chess because I wanted to overcome my phobia of playing on the clock, but now I'm pretty addicted to it. I cut down a lot while taking the December 900 Level class. It was a worthwhile experience and I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to get more serious about chess. I have become more serious about chess, but I still love just playing. 

Hi all, I'm a first-year university student, studying business.

I discovered chess at my elementary school's chess club (back when I could actually defeat people my own age). Stopped playing until around two years ago, since then I've played on and off, almost entirely online blitz (1200's now, peaked around 1325) + rapid (1400's, peaked around 1500), though I've just recently tried my hand at online bullet (1300's).

I wish I had the time (college, man) and resources (chess clubs/tournaments near my home and my school are unfortunately few and far between) to obtain a USCF rating and play sanctioned events, but until that becomes feasible, online will do. My only goal is to see how strong of a player I can become. I feel I'm tactically and positionally pretty strong for my rating range, but I can't seem to convert winning or advantageous endgames...

I'm always down to play a match, regardless of rating, so by all means feel free to add/message me!

Hi, I'm Taris and love chess. I'm not as good as some of the people here but I love good challenge. Been playing from a very young age and I love the game. I don't think I'll ever be a chess champion but I'm sure chess.com will help me become an expert at the game I love.

Hi my name is Desrran I might be considered a beginner.I am 12

Hi, I'm Jullan, 17 years old. I've learned chess from my dad when i was around the age of 10-12. But because of school work and sports I haven't been playing a lot and I just recently when back to playing chess. Within couple of weeks my rating before was 940, but now currently my rating in chess.com is 1101. Even though I don't have or even been in a chess club, I quickly learned different opening and tactics and beat my dad, and several people. But I want to improve into a more advance level and become better.
