The Weak Square: Chess is Combat Against Self
http://weaksquare.blogspot.com/2012/04/chess-is-combat-against-self.html
Monday, April 16, 2012. Chess is Combat Against Self. Wolverine vs. Wolverine. I began playing chess almost four years ago to the day. I got into chess for a number of reasons but the main one being that my competitive tenacity is insatiable. Nothing gives me greater pleasure than crushing an opponent. In this regard, I am pretty sadistic I admit. It took me playing for about three years to finally realize that your biggest opponent in a game of chess is yourself. Wrong He kept playing the best moves he ...

The Weak Square: I'm Not Good Enough To Play Chess
http://weaksquare.blogspot.com/2011/06/im-not-good-enough-to-play-chess.html
Monday, June 6, 2011. I'm Not Good Enough To Play Chess. Inevitably when people in my real life find out that I’m a tournament chess player they invariably say two things; 1.) Wow I’m sure you get a bunch of chicks! 2) I know how to play chess but I’m not good enough to play in tournaments. Every person that can talk and not drool at the same time (although there are some good chess players that do just that) is totally capable of putting together a respectable chess game in a short amount of time. I...

Monday, November 7, 2011. My Best and Worst Wins. My Worst and Best Wins. Usually it's the losses that are miserable. However, in addition to some exciting wins, I have a few miserable ones.

I hope you enjoy. 3 All-time worst win. 2 All-time worst win. 1 All-time worst win. Trying to figure out what I should do, I lost sight of the fact that I was in check. So I moved ...

The Weak Square: Learning Lessons from Losses
http://weaksquare.blogspot.com/2011/11/learning-lessons-from-losses.html
Monday, November 21, 2011. Learning Lessons from Losses. I am a big fan of being disciplined enough to learn from your losses. While nothing gives me greater pleasure than flipping over tables and throwing a colossal hissy fit when I lose, I keep it in check and always review the game with my opponent. Thus, I have learned more after my games than during them. Lesson 1 - Pawn Structure is overrated until you are a master. Long story short, his rook mobility became the decisive factor in the game and he e...

The Weak Square: Get Out of My Head!
http://weaksquare.blogspot.com/2010/01/get-out-of-my-head.html
Tuesday, January 26, 2010. Get Out of My Head! Get Out of My Head! A Discussion on Introducing a Thought Process Into Your Chess. The book was about how to create an atmosphere where you perform at the top of your ability each time you play. You all know the feeling. When you are playing your best you are lights out, you might play 200-350 points above your rating level when you are "on". However when you are off, man are you off! Moving a flank pawn? Oh, that pawn move discovered an attack on my queen!
