A Self-Taught Knight!
Chess has been a constant companion in my life ever since my dad introduced me to the game at the age of 15. Unlike most, I didn't have a formal coach or lessons. Instead, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery, diving headfirst into the world of black and white squares.

Forget dusty libraries and structured lessons – my chess journey began at 15, fueled by the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the quiet hum of conversation in local cafes. My dad, my first opponent and mentor, ignited the spark, but my true teachers were the seasoned players who dueled it out on worn chessboards across the city.

These cafes became my university of chess. Each player, a professor with a unique style. There was the aggressive maestro, the patient strategist, and the occasional "gambler" who thrived on calculated risks. Every game revealed a new facet of the game – the art of sacrifice, the power of positional play, the beauty of a well-timed fork.
