Hallo!
I'm in New York City, and I play in Bryant Park regularly on 6th Avenue by 40th St. I also play on several online sites including here. I've been playing for about twenty five years ish, when I succeeded in breaking my arm in the first week of high school.
I read both chess and other non-fiction l;ike a fiend, and like finding new music. I gain 50 points when I have good music on! : )
The chess.com interface is a little strange, so I'm happy to chat in the game windows after games and I just started posting to the message boards.
