I love chatting with random strangers, please start a conversation. Unless you send me a pm, I will time you out.

This website to me is just a time waster, a mind numb-er. I don't really spend any time length of time on each move in a game, and therefore make lots of stupid mistakes, and don't pick the best move nearly all of the time. This is just recreational chess to me.

My USCF rating is 1287, however I've had performance ratings as high as 1600.

This is why I never resign (Horrible game, just look at the end game). - http://www.redhotpawn.com/gameanalysis/boardanalysis.php?gameid=7788740&cbqsid=22636

I'm attending Carnegie Mellon University for Physics and Music (Double Major). For highschool, I went to a school named Hempfield... which if you live in Pennsylvania... won the state championship a couple years back.

I'm 18 years old living in Pennsylvania in the US. I love tips and I love to teach people. I do parkour, play volleyball, and also viola (aka... a big violin), piano, mellophone (a marchingband french horn). I sing, play electric bass in a band, trumpet in jazz band, and I'm starting to play bassoon on my free time. I'm into musical theatre in my school where we did Anything Goes, Wizard of Oz, Secret Garden, and Cats.

I enjoy playing games against other players with higher rankings than me. I used to put my opening repertoire on here but I change it so much that it got tiresome to edit it. White - I open with Nf3 for white, and transpose to a queen's gambit. I'm considering learning the Réti, which would be to respond to d5 with c4. Black - I play Alekhine's Defense against e4, Slav (variant) against d4, and the opposite wing pawn for c4 or f4.
