I started playing chess just out of curiosity, but over time it became something I genuinely enjoy improving at. I’m not the kind of player who just plays moves quickly and hopes for the best. I like to understand what’s going on in the position and why certain ideas work.

My style is mostly about playing for the initiative. I enjoy positions where I can create pressure and keep asking questions. I don’t mind sacrificing material if it leads to activity or puts my opponent in uncomfortable situations. For me, it’s more interesting to play an active game than just sit and defend passively.

I’m still learning like everyone else. Some games I calculate well and everything flows, and other games I miss simple things and end up losing positions I shouldn’t. That’s part of it. I try to look back at my games when I can and figure out what went wrong instead of just moving on.

I like middlegames the most because that’s where the real fight happens. Openings are important, but I don’t try to memorize everything. I prefer understanding ideas. Endgames are something I’m working on more because I know that’s where a lot of games are decided.

I respect players who play solid, accurate chess. Whether it’s a tactical game full of complications or a slow positional grind, I try to stay focused and play each move with a purpose.

Right now, I’m just focused on getting better step by step, improving calculation, reducing mistakes, and becoming more consistent overall. No shortcuts, just learning from every game.
