http://oddlittleaardvark.blogspot.com/2010/03/saratoga-open-games.html
Little slices of life. chess, philosophy, religion, politics, outdoors, food, etc. March 02, 2010.

Funnily enough, I was the top seed in the small event, though there were a number of better players involved in the concurrent and much larger NYS Scholastic championships. Here is round two (Richman,J (1714) - Sells,P (2006) :. Tolsto...

Little slices of life. chess, philosophy, religion, politics, outdoors, food, etc. April 07, 2010. Happy Pascha to whoever's reading this! So now Holy Week is over and we can say that "Christ is risen! I made it through without getting sick and without any health problems (excepting the lack of sleep, of course).

Odd Little Aardvark: absurd thought
http://oddlittleaardvark.blogspot.com/2010/03/absurd-thought.html
Little slices of life. chess, philosophy, religion, politics, outdoors, food, etc. March 10, 2010.
