Hello everyone,

I’m Vanity and I’m a non-binary human being trying to lead a good life.

I started playing chess as an adult just a couple of years ago now and I immediately fell in love with it. I love everything about it - I love the game for itself; the beauty and artistry of the pieces and boards; its long and fascinating history, and the way it brings people together from all over the world from different countries and cultures to enjoy playing a game that we love with each other.

I’m trying my best to improve and as well as playing I enjoy studying chess and its history. My favourite chess period is the 19th and early 20th centuries, and I love reading about the chess players, their chess and the history of those times.

Although I do sometimes play ‘Rapid’ games, I prefer playing ‘Daily’ games so that we both have time to enjoy a thoughtful relaxing game making moves when it suits us best, continuing that long tradition of correspondence chess that reaches back for over two hundred years.

I play chess for fun; for relaxation and enjoyment; for the challenge and adventure of it, and if we play chess together it is my hope that you enjoy your game too, regardless of the outcome.

Perhaps we’ll play a game together soon.

Vanity
