I’m a 25 year old cook, I stopped working in May to dedicate all my time to studying chess so I could better my chances of winning the world tournament in Philadelphia and to pursue my dream of one day becoming a grandmaster, progress while I travel and meet great new friends along the way. :D

The best thing about reaching a destination is enjoying the journey; live in the moment enjoy the ride!
