My name is Arunas. Arūnas actually (with a letter “ū” in a middle – which in Lithuanian is pronounced longer than usual “u”). My hobby is learning languages. Next to my own Lithuanian I also speak English, German, Russian. Now learning Japanese.

And of course I like playing chess! I learned to play when I was about 8 years old. Then I was playing with my friends and my uncle who taught me to play. Later because of some circumstances I wasn’t playing chess for a while. And now after finding this wonderful website, I am coming back to chess.

Playing online daily games I try to find time to make my moves every day. But sometimes days are busy. So I am sorry if sometimes I can't make my move fast.

While playing I never use computer chess programs and don’t understand people who do it. Firstly I find it very dishonorable. Secondly I really can’t see the meaning of it since chess is the game of enjoying your personal progress in thinking, perception and mind. So why to take it away from yourself?

I wish everyone to find here many friendly chess players and enjoy interesting matches!
