17 years old. I hope to improve to master level one day. I learned at the age of 4 however i didnt play much at all until i joined a club at my local library at 9. I didnt really start to study chess until about 12. Any advice on chess is welcome and appreciated. I have never had a chess teacher. I read books and study chess in my spare time (school studies must come first) Good chess to all!
