Im 44 yo and just beginning, this is my progress blog. Track my progress and lets learn together.
Hey everyone, Im Jay, im 44 years old and live in the United States. North East Pennsylvania to be exact. Throughout my life I learned the rules to chess and played a game every now and then to keep those rules fresh, but never taken the game serious. My life has been a rollercoaster. Full of a lot of upset, heart ache and pain and very few actual good things. Everything ranging from addiction to the death of family and friends or 3 tours in the iraq war. I tell you this rough outline so you know a bit of my background. The best things from my life are me kids. Whom i love more than anything and would do anything for. Moving along, recently a client of mine played chess on chess.com so i decided to DL the app and play a few games. Well i began to notice all i want to do is play. Im in the shower.... thinking of chess... eating....... chess. I see so many people who are so passionate about the game and slowly see chess becoming a big part of my life. I am a complete noob. Besides knowing the rules and some board locations, i haven started o study strategy yet. I just thought it would be cool to begin a "journal" of sort to track progress. To watch someone go from point A to........ Where ever i end up. I hope to become passionate enough one day to play in tournaments. And if by any chance i become good at it, it would be cool for other noobs to see a person at their level, start exactly where they are, to watch someone like themselves, a ordinary persons journey through the ranks. So.... here we go.................... Enjoy. _ Jason
