I am a 30 year old software developer, living in Montréal, Québec (Canada). Married, father of two.
Started playing chess in school, joined in a local tournament, and got my ass kicked by my neighbor, who turned out to become national champion (just my luck). Kind of lost interest after that, and picked up chess again when I was invited to this site.
