Intro
Hello, and welcome to my blog! Im so glad that you were able to find this as I want this blog to be know through the whole chess community that chess.com has thoughtfully created! This blog is to help people that are wanting to improve or are struggling to get better at chess!
Now, somethings about me!
- My name is Abhirup Mukherjee! I am of Indian Ancestry living in the Bay Area, California! I started learning chess when I was 7, though I really never enjoyed until when I became 12! That was because I entered 6th grade to look at chess a whole new way! I started developing a liking when I got 3/5 in my first USCF tournament with no practice! After this, I started logging on to my chess.com account more and more often and right now, I spend about 5 hours a day here! I believe I have come along way since when I first started and I have my previous coach, my local school club, and chess.com to thank for that!

- A basic introduction and the main sequence of moves to a certain gambit
