I teach public school English.
I tend to move very fast once I look at the board. I want to keep my live playing skills as sharp as possible. This can lead to some pretty eclectic (ie sometimes clever, sometimes ill-conceived) strategies, lol.
I never throw a game (to lower my standings or for any other fool reason), so if you beat me, you beat me fair and square. Congrats!
I recommend that you never give up (especially versus me). There is always a chance that you can come back. 🙂 Plus, I will tend to make you check-mate me, even if it stretches out the game. I think you deserve the satisfaction of a checkmate versus a resignation. That is one of the fun parts, after all!
Peace.
