About Me:

Ziryab introduced chess to Europe in the ninth century. I'm a universal player with a strong sense of history. I particularly appreciate lessons from the games of Lasker, Kramnik, Karpov, Gligoric, Morphy, Greco, Benko, and Seirawan.

I'm a scholastic tournament organizer that put together the largest state event in 2009.

Opening Transpositions

Start with the French (ECO C), switch to the Benoni (ECO A), then play the Sicilian (ECO B). That's the first three moves of a game designed to throw the opponent off balance. See Transpositions on my Chess Skills blog....Read more »
