Man From Spain - My First Post On Hive

Hi Community, My Name is Emmanuel Nwala but my friends call me Manfromspain i consider myself to be one of the fastest chess players alive , I am a certified thrash talker on the chessboard and i make the atmosphere come alive. I was introduced to hive by my good friend @samostically interestingly i have known about hive for over 4years now as i jokingly call him hive Sam when we meet at tournaments.

Chess

I was introduced to chess by one of my Uncles at a very tender age where he literally thought me how to move the pieces and deliver checkmate, as time went by i became better and started whooping him real bad. From then on i began improving on my chess skills beating most of my peers around my neighbourhood and in my Secondary days. But the real improvement came when i got in to the University Of Port Harcourt where i met so many brilliant minds then i realized i was a total fish or patzer as most pple refer to average players. It was in my University that i got to ever see a Chess Clock and wow i was amazed by it and interestingly that very day i had the opportunity to play with a friend that whole evening then i realized that i am extremely fast in Blitz.

So fastforward to today on lichess i boast a Peak rating of 2759 in Bullet on my Manfromspain Handle i look forward to hitting 2800 soon how time flies. I also find the Team Battle very intersting as we get to play against Gms And Ims but one thing i love about team battles is team spirit.

What Fascinates Me About Hive

Having attended @samostically two Classes about hive i discovered certain things that interest me. One, i like the fact that i can play chess and earn Hive and also i like that u can stake hive and like other peoples post to get more hive. I have been in the crypto space for a while thats why i really find this part of hive interesting. I will keep on playing the hive chess events from time to time and write about my chess experiences and my lifestyle.

Conclusion

Thanks to @stayoutoftherz for your contribution as most of my hive earnings have come from him and also thanks to @aliento for delegating resource credits to me
