Introduction
Welcome to my chess website. This website is dedicated to writing free chess articles on a range of topics to help the average player improve. Topics discussed include chess openings, strategy and endgames. Note that some of these pages contain advanced chess jargon.
I have been playing chess for 8 years now. Before I started playing serious tournaments, I played on the internet for several months. I devote my spare time to practicing and studying chess because I love the strategical deepness of the game. I have a FIDE rating of 2146 (11/2009) and an ACF rating of 2256 (03/2010). I actively play on the Internet Chess Club.
The majority of links here are internal links. Links that go to other websites will automatically open in a new window/tab. If you want to look for a particular term or phrase, use the search box above.
