| Introduction | I'm Smithy, a fairly decent amateur chess player. You might know me from my free Chessable course, Smithy's Opening Fundamentals, which has mostly positive reviews. I've also dabbled in video content and have several lengthy forum posts on various discussion sites. When I'm not doing chess stuff, I'm normally doing something physical, like karate or running or calisthenics. I'm a big fan of history, especially ancient history, but honestly, I think I just like learning. Learning feels really good. |
