Chess

I play chess online at chess.com (my moniker is ruzulo). If you're interested in playing me, I'm willing to play with various time limits and increments to include correspondence chess, and I also play 960. The picture shows Anish Giri, who used to play in our local club here in Sapporo when he was a kid.

Hiking

I love hiking and camping, although I haven't done a lot in recent years. My favorite place to hike would have to be the Northern Boundary Trail in Jasper National Park in Canada or the Pasayten Wilderness in Washington State. I love to get away to places where one doesn't see people for the entire trip. Of course, there's also Denali Park in Alaska where one sees neither people nor trails.
