I am Noah, and I cover strategy and board games for Games Mostly. I am the one who turns every casual match into a debate about optimal moves. Chess is my real obsession, so when the team needed someone to own the thinking-person games, my hand went up before anyone else could blink.
My patch is the slow, satisfying stuff: chess, checkers, connect four, and any browser game that rewards planning over reflexes. I write the guides that break openings and endgames down into plain language, and I review the strategy titles myself so I can tell you whether the computer opponent actually plays well or just stalls until you make a mistake. If a game claims to be deep, I play it long enough to find out if that is true.
Away from the board I am the person who replays a single chess puzzle five times because the second-best move bothered me. I love a clean ruleset that hides a surprising amount of depth, and I think the best strategy games respect your patience instead of padding it out. If you want a recommendation or you think I scored a classic too harshly, the contact page reaches me.
