"Chess is a miniature version of life. To be successful, you need to be disciplined, assess resources, consider responsible choices and adjust when circumstances change."   -  Susan Polgar

Chess.com is awesome! I'm Amelia and I'm glad to be here to help you!

I learned how to play from my dad when I was young and then didn't play much until I stumbled across this site for the first time in 2008 when an online friend and I decided we wanted to play chess. I signed up and I never even thought to join up at another chess website. 

My hobbies include cooking, riding my mountain bike, going to the beach, spending time with my family, pottery and art, and when I get the chance, travelling. 

 Just try not to be like this guy, we are people too!
