I'm here to try and improve my game. I've been playing chess for a fair while now and have come to the conclusion that I don't know nearly as much as I thought I did. I like chess because playing it well requires continuous learning.
Every time I play a game I like to look at where I went wrong, studying the position briefly to gain a decent understanding of how I can improve. This makes the game more enjoyable because I know that with each game, I'm learning a little bit more.
