i can't 1v1 you without first knowing ur pwr lvl. im afraid my aura would absolutely devestate you before you even have a chance to put the pieces on the board and i am not the type of guy who gets on by schmucking ppl into the shadow realm.
I'm rank 12 in Pawn Tactics. If you're talking chess, I've beaten NMs, CMs, and FMs. Here is a draw between me and Serbian International Master Vojislav Milanovic.
