<\/span>My Chess-Story<\/span><\/h3>\n

I started playing my first games of chess \u2013 as so many others did \u2013 when I was a small child. My father introduced me to the game sometime around the turn of the century. Ever since then, I have been on a constant quest to improve my game. While I am by no means a pro chess player, I try my best to take you along on my chess improvement story.<\/p>\n

Fun Fact:<\/strong> I have never played in a competitive tournament to this day. Ever since I can remember, I played chess on my dad’s computer, with the occasional game at a friends house. Luckily, with the rise of online chess sites like lichess.org<\/a> my thirst for more chess games can be quenched easily.<\/p>\n
