TrickyTrapChess - "I learned the game at the age of 6 when my dad taught me the basic fundamentals, but it wasn't until I was 12 years old when I began to improve rapidly solely by playing and competing in tournaments. I then made it a goal to achieve the NM title without a chess coach or reading books because I wanted to show that it is possible to become a strong player at this game on your own through hard work."
