Bio Change. Coming Soon

reads a book near a fire place with a cup of coffee

Oh… Hello i did not see you there!

chuckle as i set my cup down

Welcome to my Bio! Allow me to introduce myself, my name is AJ a few people know who i am but not many, im not the sharpest tool in the shed as you can see in my rating, but im still learning, a few people know what AJ stands for, but if you dont i just like to confuse people by telling it stands for Always Jamming

lets out a small laugh and takes another sip of my coffee

Alright back to my story! i joined Chess .Com in September and glad i did over that time, i met some very nice people and joined many clubs, now i enjoyed being in clubs talking about chess and puzzles and all the good stuff, however even tho there is good people on this Website, there are a whole lot of BAD people to, especially in clubs i was an admin in the Kayla Fan Club, now this club…eh boy do i tell ya, this club was something else, but i dont feel like talking about it, i went through a lot of drama and a lot of time in that club as many others did.

glances at the fire place

I also realized that i had a choice… i could continue in the social side of chess or leave the social side and focus on the game itself, i chose chess first, not that i could not do both but at that time i had only one choice, but something happened… i had to put that idea on hold, because i was trying to help a club be more active since a friend of mine was banned (wrongfully) by Chess .Com i was helping keeping Kayla’s active and help with invites,

sighs

But it was all for nothing… i found out that Club was a lie this whole time! like i said before i dont feel like talking much about it. but after that things started to slow down, YUP! i have not seen that much drama since and i had a lot of time to focus on chess! i turned off club notifications so i dont see that much action as i used to…

But over the time, i got to be around Chess .Com Legends and even call them friends!

Now i pop by a few clubs just to see if any gold is happening but i have not seen any but who knows what my Chess .Com journey is gonna be like. i am writing this on Jan. 1 so it will be interesting to see how this goes

stares at my half full mug

hmmm… gonna need a refill here soon, ANYWAY as you can tell im not the best blog writer but i do love the game! Speaking of which i might as well tell you a little about how i leaned the game, but where are my manners? would you like a drink? you can have anything you like! except for alcohol, but i have Tea, Coffee and… actually that’s it… that all i have oh and some Diet Coke, but no one drinks that…ANYWAY

hands you a cup of your preferred beverage

Now i started to play chess when i was maybe around 10? thinks deep but anyway, my Dad taught me how to play he would win and never let me win like a good father, i TOTALLY NEVER CRIED WHEN I LOST…. ahem then i started to play on my phone but it was not Chess .Com or Chess Kids, it was a small little known chess app where you can only play against the computer, there where a few levels like Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Master, Candidate Master, Grand Master and Champion, now i beat all of them, yes without any hints except…for the Champion of course the Champion level was probably 1700 or so i could not beat it as a 12 year old, then one day… i will never forget it, i was winning! i was so proud of myself after months of fighting i was gonna win! all i need to do was push my pawn to promotion and win the game… then, he en passant me and i was staring at that screen for hours, i never seen a move like that at first i thought the game broke the rules just so i would not win! i was so angry when i found out that it was a legal move. i then deleted the game as well as my passion for chess, BUT then i picked it up again and started to play a little here and there, then a friend of mine convinced me to go to Chess .Com and here i am.

Im glad you made it this far in my blog! maybe this year there will be a lot more to uncover!

finishes my cup of coffee

AH, welp see you next time friend
