Nate Baker

Hi, I'm a board game and data nerd working as an analyst for Chess.com.

I live with my wife, two children, two Great Pyrenees, 5 6 free-range cats, and 13 4 chickens in Tennessee.

When I'm not analyzing things for Chess.com, I enjoy making cocktails, playing board games, making board games, and making tools for board gamers.
