This is where I keep track of everything I'm learning - chess experiments, music I'm composing, a comic I'm drawing, and lessons I teach. It all started with one question about chess and math.
Keith loves chess, music, stories, and figuring out how things work.
Sometimes my brain feels noisy when I try to do math. But when I play chess first, something changes. So I started measuring it - time, accuracy, and focus across six trials.
I found out my hypothesis was partly right and partly wrong. That's the interesting part.
One of my hand-drawn graphs. Red = no chess before. Green = chess before.
I'm making a comic about a pawn who has to cross the whole board. It's about chess but also about choices, teamwork, and what happens when a small piece does something big.
The cool part is that the comic combines four things I love: chess, writing, drawing, and storytelling. Most chess websites don't have any of that.
Pages are still in progress. Check back soon.
I keep scorebooks, take notes, and try to figure out what I did right and wrong. Even losing teaches me things.
I run classroom sessions and help with Chess4Smiles, which raises money to buy chess sets for kids in hospitals. Teaching someone else a tactic is one of the best ways to make sure I really understand it.
I composed the music for this website. I also wrote and illustrated a book called An Unexpected Trip to Rote when I was 7. And I draw digital art. Chess is my main thing, but it connects to everything else I do.
Theme music I composed for StormChess.

This is easier to show than explain. Here's a short video where I talk about why I built this.
