My name is Ed and I am a 17 year old senior from Maryland. I've been playing chess since the 6th grade and my current unofficial USCF rating is 1595 (although it is still going up). My handle on FICS is also metalshredder. I also play soccer and guitar. My favorite kinds of music are metal and rock, although I have other kinds of music on my computer. If you want to talk to me more, you can message me and I can give you my handles for AIM or yahoo.
