On a quest to become a true all-rounder. The reason I remain a "Static Rookie" boils down to a single question: To take the Side Pawn, or not to take the Side Pawn -- that is the question. When you see me sinking into a deep, agonizing think over the board, please don't be fooled. I am not calculating 20 moves ahead; I am simply a coward who cannot make a decision. Self-taught with no formal master. I live by the philosophy that "A Grandmaster needs no Joseki (set patterns)." However, abandoning the book lines usually just turns me into the "Grandmaster of Blunders." Let's enjoy a good game!
