Hey everyone, it's me again!

Well, you know me as TecDragoman on this site, but my actual name is Maximilian Ohmer. I'm a boy from Ludwigshafen at the Rhine, Germany, currently 15 years old (my birthday is the 23rd of September 2009) and I'm addicted to playing chess because otherwise my depression would kill me. From the moment I started to play chess when I was five, I fell in love with the game. I played chess more as a funny game until I was ten, and then I actually lost my connection with the 64 squares. Until the beginning of 2023. The international chess.com hype catched me and I lost myself completely into the game. I joined the local Schachklub Ludwigshafen 1912 and started to play in the league and in tournaments. Today I'm taking an important role at our club as vice youth representative. My current rating is 1312 DWZ.

I've been on this site since January 5th 2023, and I became active within the community in February 2023. I'm not only playing a lot of daily games (please only unrated challenges!)

Also, I'm really engaged in the fight against trolls, abusers and also the sadly often occuring injustices on this site, which actually is one of the reasons why my original account got banned on March 17th 2025. After a pretty long fight with the staff, they allowed me to come back here. Well, during my absence I think I have changed pretty much. I concentrated a lot more on myself and learned some lessons about life. But if you miss the old, naive and exaggerating part of me, then I’m of course there to chat with you. I even have my old bio saved, you can find it here in this Google Doc

Greetings,

Maximilian Ohmer, aka TecDragoman
