My dad taught me to play; he's very good; had a win over Bent Larsen in a simul; a draw with Reshevsky in a postal game in 1978/79. I'm a student at Cornell and also play the violin. I like the BDG & am working on the Latvian gambit.My boyfriend likes taking me to chess clubs, where I usually slaughter everyone

However I'm not accepting any more friend requests; reason is that I get bombarded with 'so and so has logged in,' so and so has logged out' etc. -- which is tooo distracting...

I love you all though
