Gambit | Newton | The Opening Specialist

Seventeen-year-old chessaholic with a taste for bold moves on and off the board.

Nicknames: Gambit (chess.com) & Newton (thanks, first name).

Languages: German, Italian, French.

Instruments: Saxophone, piano.

Occupations: Law school, life, and the occasional checkmate.

Favorite opening: English.

Favorite gambits: Englund & Stoller — because subtlety is for endgames.

Other facts:

My second home is Outback Steakhouse.

I draw… badly or brilliantly, depending who you ask.

I know too much about chess, but not enough to avoid blundering once in a while.

Pineapple on pizza? Absolutely.

Die Hard is a Christmas movie.

I have no real accent—sorry ladies.

Some wise words: (I actually say these in my day-to-day life)
