Hi Deana,

Good Evening and thank you for reaching out.I am absolutely fine to share my story with others.

To start with, I was already an advanced player in India and moved to USA recently. I have played two club games in Davenport, Iowa and recently played Spingold Knockout Team event. We came very close to qualifying for round of 32 but unfortunately not to be.

I really enjoyed playing in the club and everyone was so welcoming making it a wonderful experience . Planning to continue playing locally whenever I get an opportunity.

It would be great to have more opportunities to play duplicate team events in the future .I would also look forward to forming a longer term partnership with an expert player locally for GNT and NAP games.

Thanks a lot again for reaching out.
