Hey there, thank you for watching! Tomorrow is my first OTB chess tournament ever! I just made it to 1500 in rapid. I've been playing for about 12 months now. Still just a beginner, but I'm trying my best to learn. My goal is to reach 1800 by the end of the year, and this will be a series of my journey to that goal and far beyond!
