I'm me, what else do ya wanna know??

I love chess, self taught. Started with playing my brother who beat every single game when I was young. Vowed I would get my revenge by learning chess and being better than him, ahhh brotherly rivalry... Anyway, last year, after 10 years of practice, I accomplished my goal and wooped him 10 games straight :) Now I'm onto bigger and better goals. My average is just about mid 1300's to high 1300's and my next task is about mid 1400's. So I am out looking for any way to improve my game. Any suggestions are welcomed!

Im lbateman, friend to all, especially if you don't mind losing to me ;)
