ABOUT ME
First, this isn’t a picture of me. I’m 41 years old and live in the Washington, DC area. Like many people, I’ve come back to chess after the pandemic. Several times throughout the last twenty years I’ve temporarily caught the chess bug and played competitively. The last time I got the bug I ended around 1200 USCF in 2014. I’ve always wondered how far I could take it, and I realized that now is most likely my last chance to make meaningful progress. I don’t have any illusions about getting a title. I’m just trying to see if I can hit 2000. At the end of the day, I’m not exactly sure of the goal of this blog, but for now, it’s my attempt to keep myself focused and document the journey.
