This was a pretty interesting chess game I played once, w/analysis!

This is some simple verbal commentary on a chess round I played in a tournament.

Thank you to all my friends that have been interested in joining this brand new chess club. There won't be any fee of course until we need our own establishment.

For now we will simply gather at the coffee shops and they will not mind.

This will take some time but will be well worth it to our local community.

Anybody want to have some coffee and a few games this weekend? Reach out to me...

This is a listing of the tournaments that were documented which I competed in. Unfortunately it stops shy when I tied for the US Open in my division in 1990 or '91. Don't be too surprised as it was only in the Class D section, but still...

I reached the milestone of 50 tournament games and didn't even know it. My rating suffered a bit though which makes me a sandbagger!! I just dropped below 1800 rating by 6 points!!
