Chess

I was first introduced to the game of chess in elementary school. I have very little memory of that time though, and I'm sure I did not really grasp many of the important concepts of the game. It wasn't until much later that I started following professional chess via some YouTube channels which covered historically significant games as well as modern competitions. Eventually, I started getting back into the game, and have been playing regularly (primarily online on chess.com) since the Summer of 2020 (during the pandemic-induced online chess boom).

Currently, I'm about 2200 rated in blitz and 2400 rated in bullet on chess.com. I play blitz and bullet almost exclusively, rarely touching longer time formats. Below I'll share some of my favorite openings and maybe a couple of puzzles I find to be interesting.
