Info

I always liked to set up the pieces on my side quickly. I thought this was a cool record. I tried over 150 times. My name is Eric Richardson, of Scottish, English, Persian and Irish descent. I hold a Philosophy bachelor's (University of Central Florida) and Liberal Studies (master's degree). I am a chess player and consistent Nakamura fan (I watch his twitch/kick stream). I am pursuing a philosophy M.A. and am in my soon to start 4th semester at University of Wales Trinity Saint David, of which I have enrolled previously after being admitted to this institution. I plan to apply for a Ph.D when I graduate as does my brother, who is the other voice in this video, to study for a Ph.D in Philosophy, as does he, with the aim of teaching. I am a class C player and aiming for GM. Any inquiries regarding this record or questions regarding the game of chess and inquiries regarding information about philosophy and/or programs for study, can be sent to this email: and I and/or my brother will attempt to answer these. I also teach chess if anyone is interested in lessons from me. You can contact me on chess.com for lessons and my username is bestchess2 on this site which can be accessed through a search. I am open to teaching up to 1000 chess.com rating or up to 800 USCF. Thank You. Much appreciated. Eric "Shoot for the stars, land on the moon"
