"Tactics is what you do when there is something to do; strategy is what you do when there is nothing to do." -Tartakower

I am a chess player who has been playing for almost 11 years but only got serious 6 years ago. I have had 4-5 years of coaching by CM @Lasker1921. 

My ultimate goal is to reach the Grandmaster title. 

I feel that I am making progress though, my rating jumped from 500-1300 in less than a year. I got 2nd in the 2022 Springfield Scholastic Championship, 4th in the 2022 Missouri State Scholastic Championship (losing only to 1st), I also got 1st in my division at the Missouri State Open, and recently Qualified to play in the Springfield Candidates tournament by winning all my games at the Rapid qualifier.

Current Goals for 2023

Beat all bots 2300 or below (4 more to go)
