Boy born in Bursa, alone in NJ

I am here for making new friends as it is more important than making some money ;o)) I am an avid chess player, having taken part in Club Tournaments in Turkey. I enjoy the challenge of chess puzzles and reading about chess. Playing this game helps focus my mind, an activity that is useful for me given my interest in programming and mathematics. On a more sporting front I enjoy watching NBA and Formula 1 car racing. I am a regular jogger and also enjoy boxing/kickboxing which I do for general fitness purposes.
