Passionate chess player; I see chess as more than a game; it's a way to practice patience, pattern recognition and strategic thinking The same mindset I use at the board staying calm under pressure, anticipating problems while choosing the best move with limited information; directly supports my work as a diesel mechanic in both shop and roadside environments
