2016 has been a great year for me.  I feel re-born right now after going through some extreme hardships in my life.  I have decided to finally come out of my shell, slowly but surely! 
I really enjoy playing chess online.  Chess is both an art and a science, all at once.  I am always searching for moves that look ridiculous on the surface, but succeed in spite of that.   I have a tenacious defensive/positional style of play, and don't like analyzing tactical variations. 
Also, I'm a pretty big nerd (in case it wasn't obvious).
