I'm 17 originally from the U.S. but my father moved us here for business and I love it more than anything. I'm a perfectionist and my grandfather got me started on playing chess because it can't be perfected and I wish to prove him wrong although I won't. I do use a side board because when you have multiple games going it is hard to keep your train of thought. If you don't want me to use a side board, let me know and I won't.
