I'm rather new to the game. I started after watching a Guy Ritchie film titled "revolver". I became enthralled with it since. I know that I have areas that need work and that is why I made an account on this website- to improve my game. My favorite piece (aside from the queen) is the knight. I intend on joining a chess club very soon and Kasparov is my ideal inspiration. Outside of chess I am a pipeline welder and I love going to the library, reading new books, and trying to better myself. My goal is to be a better player.
I love chess for many reasons. The calculative combinations on the board are actions of a friendly and psychological war engaged by two people. The action is non-stop and it's a mental game of tactics.
Favorite chess quote: "You can only get smarter by playing a smarter opponent. The more sophisticated the game, the more sophisticated the opponent."
