past player games
There wasn't any particular player I modeled my game after. I tried to learn from everyone and create my own style. I studied past players. Truth be told I never had a favorite player. It's just not my nature to go around idolizing people. I just go try to learn.

Right now I'm really happy with how things are going with my chess career, so I'm not thinking of doing anything else.

Contrary to many young Colleagues, I do believe that it makes sense to study the Classics.

I am not some sort of freak. I might be very good at chess but I'm just a normal person.
