I am new to this Chess site, usually I play on Chess.com or ICC. I have been playing Tournament Chess for a long time. My USCF Rating is '2006' and my FIDE Rating is '1849.'
Other interests include Bowling, where I have a 200 Average, Black Powder Revolvers, and Martial Arts. I also like to read, my library is pretty large, and I do a lot of interesting research.
I have the B.A. Degree in History and English Literature with a Minor in Medieval and Renaissance Studies. Sometimes I try to learn Saxophone, but I'm not very good.
One last thing, if your time bank is over 10 days, I probably won't play you, since I'm not interested in having a won position, and you hiding for weeks because your ego can't handle a loss. It just saves us both the time and aggravation.
Tournament Entry Rating is calculated by the formula (CurrentRating + HighestRating) / 2. The entry rating will never drop to more than 100 points below your Highest Rating.
Rated stats are updated within 24 hours of the last completed rated game.
