I'm a physical education major at Bowling Green State University, and I'm a senior. I'm a big fan of badminton, racquetball, and fencing.
I consider myself a very easy going guy--I take play very seriously, but I always enjoy being in the company of others who do too.
I try (unsuccessfully) to be well-read and well-listened. I'm down for anything though, just shoot me a line.
Chess is an incredible exercise, and a deeply rewarding pursuit in which anyone can constantly improve if they work at it.
I am a novice for sure, but I enjoy learning techniques, tactics, and strategies as much as playing the game itself. I'm trying to learn how to use PGN files and such, and actually make a concerted effort to improve my game. I love that chess is an exchange of ideas. It is high conversation. It embodies the best of what I enjoy about games.
I've never received chess "lessons" but I've always wanted to take my game to the next level. Hopefully playing with you folks will do that. Check me out on Yahoo chess too.
