I've played since I was 5 but never really studied chess that hard otherwise I'd have a much higher rating than 1800. Maybe someday I will try but for now I just enjoy playing and that's enough for me.
Other Chess Info:
Favorite Player: Garry Kasparov because of his fierce competitiveness over the board.
Favorite Current Player: Viswanathan Anand , though I respect Vladimir Kramnik greatly.
Style: Safe and Positional Classical Style with an Occasional Affinity for tactical and dynamic play.
Favorite Chess Quote
"If there was no time I'd never lose a game"
-chessamateur, (reacting to yet another loss caused my time pressure in a drawish position)
Notable Accomplishments:

Not many, but one of them is something that not many can claim. I've beaten someone who has beaten Robert James Fischer
