I am pretty much a chess wannabe. I can put up a good fight, but am far from being great at it. I am hoping the tools on this site will improve my game. I wish I had started playing at an earlier age, but there weren't any opportunities to get involved in the sport where I grew up. I would love nothing more than to improve to the point that I can compete in tournament play. As it stands right now, I don't even have an idea how to get a FIDE or USCF rating. I am open to any pointers or critique from experienced players.
