Hewwo there, human! Thank you for reading my bio! ♡

A lot of this will probably be me venting about chess stuff, but there’s some other stuff that’ll be more interesting, don’t worry! ^^
Before that inevitably ends up happening, though…

I live in the United States, not North Korea. It’s just a funny thing. >w<
I’m also not a furry, though I have seriously considered it, so I might have to edit this part of my bio later… :3
I don’t watch anime, either, I just liked the character in my profile picture. Even I’m surprised by this, but I can’t see how someone would like it… I seriously feel like they’ve designed the characters for everyone to do this with… ^-^ I didn’t know about the origin of this until choosing it xD
I have a USCF rating now! Yes, it is EXACTLY 800 for some reason >_<
I’m probably not going to friend you if your average rating is over 1200… At that point I don’t think there’s any level of odds that will allow me to comfortably play with you… To be fair, I’d like to be friends with people who I can play with. ^^;
(Of course, I am willing to make an exception sometimes… >w<)
Oh, and I am currently 15, and, sorry to (possibly) burst your bubble, but I am male; however, that didn’t stop someone from inviting me to a girls-only club and not allowing me to message them, so I couldn’t even tell them to read my bio… An unfortunate number of people have thought otherwise. In my opinion, someone with this kind of profile picture is usually male… >_<

Anyways, it’s CHESS VENTING TIME!!

Scholar’s mate countertrap!

If you’re a beginner who uses the Scholar’s Mate often, please get off of my profile (jk we’re fine idc that much lol), however if you’re a beginner who despises the common use of the Scholar’s mate at your level with the fire of a thousand suns, such as myself, I suggest you learn this (and any other lines that could branch off of it) like one would learn an opening, so you can really STICK IT to those Scholar’s Mate main-lining idiots! (But, like, be respectful to them as well - apparently that kinda stuff violates chess.com’s terms, or something like that…)

Openings I like: Center Game, Italian Game, Ruy Lopez, Scotch Game
Openings I find okay: Four Knights Game, Bishop’s Opening, French Defense, Caro-Kann Defense, Owen’s Defense
Openings I don’t like: Wayward Queen Attack (usually transposes into Scholar’s Mate, seriously, it never works…), Scotch Gambit, ICBM Gambit (either variation), Grob Attack, Queen’s Pawn Opening
Openings I don’t understand: Sicilian Defense, Modern Defense, Reti Opening, Queen’s Gambit, King’s Gambit

The best piece set ever to exist…

And, the worst…

(Yes, this does mean I’m saying that the Blindfold set is better…)

I’m not counting 3D piece sets, but those are the worst of all, ESPECIALLY the Real 3D set.
If you’re reading this and are using a 3D set unironically, please change it to something else… You will probably gain rating points from the change alone - I’m not kidding… ._.

I would also like to state that I do not like this set, either…

That’s right - I don’t like the default set of chess.com. Even though it’s the piece set I use while thinking about chess games, and I don’t necessarily mind playing with it when I accidentally turn it on, I absolutely hate playing, and especially losing to someone who is playing with the default pieces of chess.com, and I don’t know why - it just really sets me off for some reason. :/

A chess puzzle that I saw at my chess club, and ONE DAY LATER saw on forums, that is the bane of my existence…

I’m still so upset about that, it’s so stupid…

Hey, thanks for reading this entire thing! I’m sorry if this was a bit much for what was supposed to be a relatively small bio, but it appears as if you persisted nonetheless. If you’re here because you couldn’t be bothered to read all of this, then shame on you. Why even read it if you can’t even persist through it, or something along those lines… However, if you really did read through all of this, please just know that you’re loved, not necessarily by me, but by everyone you’re around, and, you know what, sure, also by me! ^^
