The Story:

Played chess here and there growing up. Picked it back up while traveling in 2018, then became a hobbyist following Agadmator, Hikaru Nakamura, Ben Finegold, Eric Rosen, Levy Rozman, and Daniel Naroditsky on YouTube.

I started watching ChessBrah and some of the aforementioned names on Twitch around November 2020 and now I’m just a full blown chess addict.
