Hi. I'm an English teacher, who also enjoys teaching basic chess to my high school students. Although I like winning (don't we all), I'm less obsessed about it as I once was, and prefer just having a close, blunder-free, struggle and being witness to good combinations, by either side. I like reading commented games, and as a part time writer, try to make, and appreciate reading, similar analytical comments myself over games I am playing.
