Hey everyone. My name is Erik and I used to play alot of chess in junior high and high school. I stopped after high school and didnt start playing again until I joined this site. I'm not a bad player but I'm also not a good player. I stopped playing competitively with a rating in the 1500's. I love to play though and look forward to each new game. I'm currently a member of The Bad Bishops. I will take timeout victories if there isn't a vacation setting or isn't a personal request not to.
