I'm a pretty awful chess player, that much is for sure. I lose more often than I win, and when I do win, it's usually on time. I swear, I cannot deliver mates no matter what I do.

My rating right now is around 1300, but with the next few games I play, I bet it'll drop right back down to the 500's. I'm infamous when it comes to blundering queens. Strange that I never blunder anything else... Oh well.

I'm a student of mechanical engineering, I'm not very attentive (partly the reason I'm so poor at chess). I'm not really great at anything, and I do things simply for the sake of doing them. That goes for chess as well. I play chess to win, but also to improve my critical thinking under stress (and time constraints), my short-term memory (which is quite awful), and my attention span.

I enjoy writing. Been doing it for some time. Not that great at it, but decent, I suppose. Better than your common countryman, at the very least.

If you ever play me in chess, expect to win. Even if I have an advantage at first, I'm just downright terrible at mid/endgame (more so for endgame with rooks).

That's about all. I'm a hobbyist. I don't do tournaments, ever.
