Find me on Lichess, and especially on Lichess4545.com.  I am also an active OTB player, FIDE ID 12417246 

Dad taught me chess when I was 9. Korchnoi & Karpov played 2nd match then, and I learned algebraic notation via their games. I didn't play a lot until about age 16-17. I played in Uni, then stopped until 40 when I started to play online in 2012. In Jan 2016 I joined an OTB club, actively playing in tournaments since.

Here on Chess.com, I performed well for Team Russia in daily matches (top 3 scorers), and since Jan 2022 I play for Team New Zealand.
