Bio

I'm a classical pianist and teacher. At this point in my life, I am returning my attention to my first love, chess. I am studying and trying to make master, and I am interested in teaching chess as well. I live with my girlfriend, Carol, and our cat, Evie, in Arcadia. I play on chessclub.com as vltava and chess.com as K00paTr00pa. I enjoy annotating games; if you played a game at the club that you were proud of and/or would like some expert commentary on, feel free to send me the moves.
