My name is Ryan and I am a high school chess coach. But I really only started learning how to play chess when I became a coach two years ago, so I'm not incredibly good. I'm mainly here to have fun and learn, and not necessarily be uber-competitive. So I don't mind discussing what's going on OTB during the game, although that certainly isn't a necessity.
