Anime

Anime & comics

A stop on the Grand Line.

Anime and comics have been with me for a long time. A few series I've watched:

Cycling and chess

I ride when I can, and I play chess at a rating of about 400, which means I lose often and confidently.

Think you can beat me? You probably can. Challenge me on Chess.com.

My quotes

When you cannot go backward after trying, then try going forward. There's no loss at trying, who knows, you may find something better?
