I started playing chess during my free periods at school with my friends. Two of them started a strategic games club.

I used to play online a lot but not much anymore. My OTB rating is 1693 and I'm on the rise (probably around 1715 right now).

I play pretty generic e4 lines but don't mind getting complicated early

Sometimes when I play chess with my friends, I find myself doing the stupidest things because I didn't think long enough. Guess I've just always gone fast. I cube fast, play piano fast, type fast, my reflexes are pretty good... I need to slow down.

Who else is hyped for the world championship?

Predictions:
Carlsen will win 6.5-3.5
Carlsen will win 3 games and tie 7

I'm rated around 1200, and I like to open with the Evans' Gambit when I'm playing white and defend with two knights and e5 pawn when I'm playing black.
