I am an A-player who started because I was forced to, but now I like playing and play at different rated events in Southern California. I have my 1st category title, no CM norms yet! I am a licensed USCF Club TD and I work at small tournaments around the area.

If you send me a friend request without a note, I will not generally not accept without context, with the exception that you know me, or have met me in person. I have been receiving requests now without messages from strangers without names, and I have tried to reach out and ask who they are. From now on, I will simply check for a message, look for a name, and then, if the criteria has not been met, rejected! If you don't know me, get to know me first in Ramuthe. What is Ramuthe? Hold up...

Please join my club Ramuthe! We do vote chess and frequent tournaments. I am the owner and co-founder of Ramuthe. I am also the "Super Oligarch." It is an amazing and active place where everyone is welcome!

I also offer coaching if you are interested (ideally beginners below 1600 USCF). PM me.

Also, I’m back in the flesh. @hursha6b5 was closed :(, but here I am!

Thanks for reading!
