Chess Background [Last Updated 07/11/2025]

Became Virginia State Amateur Chess Champion at age 14.
I have had a USCF rating floor of 2000 since August 2005 (Peak USCF Classical rating = 2122).
Since July 2014, I have held the norms-based USCF Candidate Master title.
Tied for 2nd in the Open Section of the 2013 Virginia State Chess Championship where I was the only person to not lose to (rather win against) the state champion for that year, including going 3.5-1.5 against National Masters.
Peak FIDE Classical Rating: 2007 [Would have been substantially higher if the 2013 Virginia State Chess Championship and 2014 World Open were FIDE-rated (which they were in the years prior to those events)]
Peak FIDE Blitz Rating: 2100
