Levy Rozman
I was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1995 to immigrant parents who came from a background in Physics, Mathematics, and Computer Science. When I was 5, my parents argued about which afterschool classes they should sign me up for. They were confident about art but skeptical about chess – I was too hyper to focus on some stupid wooden pieces.
Buy books on Amazon
As it turned out, I hated art. But not chess. I loved chess. I practiced every day, forcing my relatives to play against me. In January 2003, at the age of 7, I played my first chess tournament. Throughout my childhood, I was ranked in the Top 5 for my age category in the United States. But I never told anyone about my hobby—the one time I did, I was bullied mercilessly for being a nerd.
