Names Marty and I'm originally from Czechoslovakia. I moved to Texas in 1996. I got intersted in chess around two years ago and played ever since. I have bought computer applications to strengthen my play and I've signed up on different playable game websites like GameKnot to play time-to-time. This is however the first chess forum I've been in, however. I would also in the future like to find a chess club, but I'm having trouble.

Nice to see you all and I hope to learn something here.
