17 years old. I hope to improve to master level one day. I learned at the age of 4 however i didnt play much at all until i joined a club at my local library at 9. I didnt really start to study chess until about 12. Any advice on chess is welcome and appreciated. I have never had a chess teacher. I read books and study chess in my spare time (school studies must come first) Good chess to all!

'I have always a slight feeling of pity for the man who has no knowledge of chess, just as I would pity the man who has remained ignorant of love.' -Siegbert Tarrasch
