Hello! And welcome to my new profile!

I say new, as I lost my old account due to me losing acsess to my email and getting signed out…

Anyway, Its nice to meet you, and heres a little about me:

I first started playing chess on a TV, yes, a TV. It had complete instructions to chess and I picked it up quickly. After a little time, I had my first checkmate on the “Beginner” option on the TV. From that day, my love for chess just grew and grew!

I am an Irish person, currently residing in Leinster. Feel free to speak Irish with me!

I can also have small talk in different languages! Currently, the languages I am studying are:

English: Fluent

German: Getting there…

Spanish: Can talk about a few odd bits

Irish: Semi-Fluent

Irish National Anthem:

Sinne Fianna Fáil, atá faoi gheall ag Éirinn,

Buíon dár slua thar toinn do ráinig chugainn,

Faoi mhóid bheith saor,

Seantír ár sinsear feasta,

Ní fhágfar faoin tíorán ná faoin tráill.

Anocht a théam sa bhearna bhaoil,

Le gean ar Ghaeil, chun báis nó saoil,

Le gunna-scréach faoi lámhach na bpiléar,

Seo libh canaig' amhrán na bhFiann.

English Translation:

Soldiers are we, whose lives are pledged to Ireland,

Some have come from a land beyond the wave.

Sworn to be free, no more our ancient sireland,

Shall shelter the despot or the slave.

Tonight we man the ‘bearna bhaoil’ (The Gap of Danger)

In Erin's cause, come woe or weal,

'Mid cannons' roar and rifles peal,

We'll chant a soldier's song!

Thanks!

iGracias!

Danke!

Go raibh maith agat!

(Whatever you like to say 🙂)

Have a good day!
