I'm Rick from just outside of Washington, D.C. I'm an improving chess player with the help of my teacher GM Alex Sherzer. I don't use computers or databases. So, if you use a computer or database, please don't use them against me. Let's play chess.
In regards to claiming t/o, I respect all on vacation and won't claim the win. For others I send one reminder. That's it. Bring it on! I'll play anybody and I love crazy games!
