About me
My name is Sila Caglar, I am an 18-year-old WIM and playing for the Turkish national team. I was introduced to chess at the age of 6. On realizing my interest in chess, my family enrolled me in a chess club where I began to develop my chess career. Since this time I have played passionately and with dedication and I hope to one day compete with our generation's current and future grandmasters.
