 I was introduced to chess at the age of twelve, shortly after life took chess away from me for a while. I signed up as a Life Member with the USCF in 2004. It was in 2005 that I played my first tournament outside of Nevada. I gained 113 points for playing in the HB Global Challenge, which is mentioned in The Big Book of Chess by Eric Shiller. I have only gained 400+ rating points since becoming a USCF member and would play more OTB games if the time and opportunity presents itself. My goal is to win 50+ rated games OTB a year under classical time controls.
