BorgBlog

I figure I should at least be able to say that "yes, I have made a blog before", so I started this blog as a bit of an experiment.

If I find people actually bother to read it, I'll extend it to include stuff that might be interesting to others.

If you would like to see something here, please post!  If you have some suggestions about blogging and why it's useful, please post!

    • Victory!

    • Take More RISKS!

      Tonight, I played black against a King's Gambit.  I lost but if I had "taken the risk" the win was there!! This is more of a note to self, that I need to take more risks -- be brave and just see how it pans out!   I find this to be a frequent ... | Read More

    • How to throw a win away...

      This is a championship game I just played.  I did quite well, except for a couple of moves, one of which I'd call the blunder of blunders.  Thowing away a perfectly won game. Sorta funny, but I am still annoyed at myself for allowing it to happ... | Read More

    • Chess.Com Daily Puzzle QA

      TBH, I am very dissappointed with the way chess.com is handling daily puzzles.  Two times in a row, the daily puzzle has been stuffed up. WTF is wrong with the QA here?  Surely whoever is in control of the daily puzzles should be checking thei... | Read More

    • I won the Blitz!

      Winning outright doesn't happen to me very often in my club, because there are 2-3 players there that are significantly stronger than I am; Edgar (the strongest player in our club who wins almost everything), Alan and Mladen.  There are also a co... | Read More
