My father introduced me to chess back in 2018. I immediately became fascinated by it but didn’t have much time to dive into it. I occasionally played a game against the CPU since I didn’t have nonvirtual friends to play with.
Everything changed in 2020. , and for a while, we had a lot of time on our end. I took advantage of the lockdown to learn chess and even master it. A massive contributor to the growth of this passion within me was starting to play online against people worldwide. It was more fun than playing against the same computer all the time.
I once went up to 1850 ELO, but staying there requires much time and conditioning. I discovered my potential by reaching an actual level that allows me to beat eight master CPUs out of 10. I’m currently still training to beat the last ones.
When I’m focused, I am as good as it gets. My strengths are strategy, perspective, board vision, adaptability, creativity, and resilience. Some of my performances match those of the game's top competitors, as you can see below.
I could improve a lot by studying theory and automating some aspects of my game, but it also requires too much time; finding the balance between my passions is already hard enough.
Teaching Chess
I’ve always loved to teach and share, so after reaching a certain level, I created a Twitch account to give aspiring chess players tips that helped me improve. I do it in my native language currently (French) but I’ll soon expand my audience by doing it in English.
Teaching/Coaching other fields
My teaching is not limited to Chess! Throughout my life, I’ve been teaching many things I was good at, notably mathematics (to my classmates and younger generations), finance, accounting, history, and statistics.
My favorite platform to teach and communicate with younger generations is my Instagram account, “nchimindscape”. On a surface level, I share my created content (mostly writings), but there is always a deeper meaning.
My content represents significant steps or reflections I went through (mostly in 2022-2023), and is crafted in a way to make the readers think and increase their perspective. It reflects insights on some aspects of life acquired through introspection, meditation, exploration, connection, reading, and experiences. It contains the keys to get where I am.
