I am 19 years old. (I'm no longer 19 years old but instead now 22. I'm now actually 24. Now I'm 27) Member of a family of seven. Right smack dab in the middle is I.
I was the Valedictorian of my high school and the first in my family to go off to a university.
I attend Cornell College and plan on double majoring in Chemistry and Mathematics. (As great as planning is, I majored in Chemistry and Computer Science. I am now a PhD student in Chemistry at Northwestern University.) I earned my PhD in Chemistry, wow how times fly.
My chess team and I in high school placed second at the 5A Oregon State Chess Championship.
My opening is ok, my mid-game is bad and my end-game is garbage. If you have any tips or any ideas about how I could had played better(whether I win or lose) please don't hesitate to tell me. 🙂 Thanks!
Those who quit are those who do not try.
If your opponent offers you a draw, he has no plan to win.
Back at college, trying to keep up with my games! (Graduated from said college, now work as a Research Scientist)
