I am happy to be here. Buddha enthusist. I love chess. I am working to become a faster player so as to excell my tactical knowledge and thinking speed. I have been playing for 2 years although 6 months ago I decided to take the road to mastery. Certainly not there yet, but as they say a 1,000 mile journey begins with just one step. Im late in the game, but im luky to have a teacher to take me in (FM Valeri Lilov) I am also a very recent student to the USCF.My # is 15174814. I am very excited about the future. There is much for me to learn, but its always the journey not the destination that makes the adventure of life worth living.

I am a locksmith by trade, I like to solve puzzles and i like to figure out how to open locks through a series of combinational steps, just like in chess. I guess that's why the game call to me. I try to live with no regrets, but as you get older this is harder to achieve. I guess if you have no regrets in life then you hav'nt really lived.

Im always available for discussion or a game.
