An avid hobbyist of chess and strategy games; chess960, puzzles, and classical chess formats. I am always eager to explore different aspects of this timeless game while challenging myself to grow both in skill and understanding.

I've been playing chess since I was around 10 years old, and it has become a significant part of my life ever since. Now at 15 years old, I’ve developed a special fondness for blitz and rapid games, while still appreciating the depth and patience required in classical formats.

I no longer participate in FIDE-rated tournaments, but I am proud to hold the title of Arena Grandmaster (AGM). My passion for chess remains as strong as ever. Chess960 has been a refreshing addition to my practice, offering a creative escape from the rigidity of memorized opening lines and challenging me to think on my feet.

When not practicing chess, I enjoy analyzing games and learning from top players to refine my strategies. I look up to legends like Bobby Fischer and Mikhail Tal, who have both inspired me with their unique styles and approaches to the game. Chess has taught me discipline, critical thinking, and the beauty of calculated risks. I believe there is always room for improvement, and I’m constantly inspired by the ever-evolving nature of the game.

Beyond chess, I’m passionate about mathematics and enjoy exploring its intersection with strategy games. Balancing school and my hobbies can be challenging, but I always find time to nurture my love for the game.
