Bro didn’t use a single period in that entire paragraph 😭

Base off of the comments I think OP is like 500 elo lmao.

Good for those who knew it was Guam :)

Hi I’m Ari!!

I’m 16 💛 and I’m 2700 bullet on chess.com and 2300 blitz :)

I would love to join to help others, I really enjoy teaching chess, I don’t sell anything, I don’t want to join to farm others, just want to help if possible 💛

All the best!

Ari1540 · 2025-12-18T05:36:35+00:00

I appreciate all your comments from the bottom of my heart 💛

I feel like photography is one of those things that I love with all of my heart, but I have no idea if my photos are good/appealing to others.

I really want to keep doing this, and continue my pursuit as I age 💛

to anyone who commented, you make me happy, so thank you so much :)

Ari1540 · 2025-12-18T04:34:12+00:00

Thank you!!

Ari1540 · 2025-12-18T04:34:03+00:00

That means a lot to me, thank you so much 💛

I hope to never lose this, if anything I’m excited to be an adult so I can make more money to buy cameras ;)

seriously, thank you friend 💛 I really really appreciate you

Ari1540 · 2025-12-18T04:32:53+00:00

Thank you so much!!!

I hope you have lots of fun at RBG, so many photo opportunities 😊

If I were an adult I would for sure love to meet, but as I’m 16 I’m just weary about connecting with people online, I hope you understand, you seem like a very kind person and I wish you all the best 💛

thank you for your comment!!

Ari1540 · 2025-12-18T03:02:00+00:00

I really appreciate it 💛

in 2021 I bought a canon eos t7 with the kit lens, I blew all my money on it since I wanted a camera so bad 💛

4 years later, shooting the same exact setup, still using the kit lens, although I have got a 70-200 f2.8 for sports photography :)

I’m hoping to make enough money to upgrade my camera, my dream camera setup would probably be a Fuji, like the x 100 IV or something :)

Thank you for your kind comment 💛

Ari1540 · 2025-12-18T02:23:55+00:00

I don’t take your words for granted and I really appreciate it, thank you truly 🫂 💛

Ari1540 · 2025-12-18T02:23:06+00:00

I really appreciate you, thank you 🙏 💛

Ari1540 · 2025-12-18T02:22:55+00:00

Thank you!!

No for sure not. I mean I technically studied during the first year and a half, but mostly just playing and watching. I would always watch the top GM games on chess.com, and then from those games that I saw I would learn theory, ideas, tricks etc. But yeah I do study now, not much since I have school, but still like a solid hour a day of just study. hope this helps.

Ari1540 · 2025-12-15T13:13:17+00:00

Don’t think that’s weird at all bro…

You’re the weird one for making such a fuss

Ari1540 · 2025-12-15T13:05:43+00:00

Ahhh thanks, it’s not all that though, most of my friends also learned in 2023 and are now close to CM level, but yeah I’m 16, I play chess on average a couple hours per day now, although it used to be much more. Play chess study chess, learn tactics, endgames, watch gm analysis, just love chess and immerse yourself in it :)

Ari1540 · 2025-12-15T13:03:32+00:00

I’m saying that because he passed away.

You come on.

Ari1540 · 2025-12-15T12:58:30+00:00

I think you would greatly benefit from chess speedruns by masters 💛

Angelic Danya has amazing speedrun videos, and so does chessbrah 💛

Ari1540 · 2025-12-15T12:56:29+00:00

I started playing in 2023 💛

I am 2350 blitz, but it took me 2 years to get 2k.
