Biography
---Feb 2010:---
i'm reviving this account after a three year hiatus because of a group interest in playing an informal tournament. I'm still limiting how much i play because it's just not a priority in my life right now, but that just means that i may not play quickly.
My games of choice are extinction chess, alice chess, and racing kings. I only really want to play regular chess with people on kbo. If you're from there, drop me a message and i'll challenge you as i don't want to open myself up to random challenges in my direction.

i'm a lot of different things to a lot of different people, so you can perceive me in whatever way pleases you.
i'm much better at extinction chess than regular chess. i discovered that my strategy as an extinction chess player ruins my regular chess play especially when i play both variants at the same time. this is why i'm not accepting regular chess challenges because i'm much more interested in variants.
i'm a big fan of alice chess. Despite what this site rates me, i don't think i'm actually that great at it.
thanks to surfnsuds, i'm becoming a fan of Racing Kings.
a fantastic game in which i lose is much more satisfying than an easy game i win.
any game in which i can inspire my opponent/colleague to learn something beyond the boundaries and context of our momentary interaction is the greatest thing ever.
replace "game" with "thing" and you pretty much have my life philosophy.
