Hello, I am in Durham, NC. I have been playing chess since I was 10, my dad taught me how to play (I imagine he wanted a partner to play with back before the existence of internet!). I never beat him, he never let me win. I am a girl. I consider myself to be a pretty good at Chess when I use my brains. I don't usually lose to the average player although I do sometimes, especially in correspondence chess, make Disastrous mistakes (my faults exposed)!

I am an Eastern Standard Time(EST) night owl.

I like to play with people around the world that enjoy the game. I do not like to be rushed although sometimes I do rush, I Don't like playing with timeouts, but I tolerate them here on RHP. I dislike playing with cheaters so I 'do my homework' before starting a Game.

I take The Game seriously and appreciate feedback. I am not very chatty, I am not a social, but I do appreciate Constructive advice and game perspectives from others, especially Experienced players.

I do not cheat and ask that you do not cheat, play an Honest Game.

I will not claim skulls unless you are gone for 30 days (Message me if you will be gone longer).

Nice meeting you, and Good Luck!
