Thoughts from someone who still can't quite believe that he talks about chess for a living. Sunday, September 29, 2013. DCCL Regular Season Finale. It has been a tough DC Chess League season for me this summer. I started by losing the first game against a 2200 in a long endgame at the company office. Then I had to return there just six hours later to run our summer camp training meeting the following day. Wednesday, September 25, 2013. Sunday, September 22, 2013. Monday, September 16, 2013.

Thoughts from someone who still can't quite believe that he talks about chess for a living. Wednesday, February 27, 2013. The Reykjavik Open just ended with a three way tie for first between GMs Pavel Eljanov, Wesley So and Bassem Amin. The first two of those three players achieved the result by agreeing to a draw after the first three moves of the Gruenfeld! Maybe there is a reason for anti-draw rules after all.

The vast majority of my internet blitz games are played on the Internet Chess Club's 3 minute or 5 minute pools. Occasionally, if I want practice with a longer game or if I don't have a mouse around for blitz, I will play in the 15 minute pool. Unfortunately, 15 minute games online have a couple of unfortunate factors. 1 Fewer people want to play. Things ar...

Minor Pieces: January 2015
http://minorpieces.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Thoughts from someone who still can't quite believe that he talks about chess for a living. Saturday, January 3, 2015. This blog probably isn't really back from retirement, but I just came across an interesting resource in an online blitz game. I had white in the position below against a higher rated player. The computer pointed out to me, that not only am I OK in the diagrammed position, but I'm probably winning. Can you find a way to save the bishop? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

I was on vacation last week, so I didn't play much chess. Looking back a decade though, I had a memorable December tournament in 2002. I defeated my first three A-class rated players in the same event! The first of these wins was against BG Dennison, possibly the only person to ever play rated games in all 50 states. Friday, December 21, 2012. 7Kh1 Re2 and black w...
