About Me:
I graduated from Oregon State with a degree in History. I can drive but I prefer to bike. During the cold rainy winter months I play more chess and during the warm sunny summer ones I do my best to enjoy the beautiful nature of the Willamette Valley. Ask me anything. As for chess, I don't really have a favorite opening. I suppose this actually hinders my development as a player, but I just play a bit of this and a bit of that, and am reasonable at all of them. I used to really like the Alekhine but I managed to mature enough to stop playing it so heavily. I've started playing the Budapest gambit more as black in the last six or so months. As white I usually go for e4 games, I like the Giuoco Piano, but also play Ruy in blitz, and of course I have to play Nf3 when black responds c5.

Oregon Class Championships Round 4

Submitted by mueller on Nov 16, 2011 12:31pm.

In the final round I was paired against G. Narayanarao. I wasn't sure if he had 2 or 2.5 at this point, but I knew he didn't have 3, so I psychologically shot myself in the foot. I realized that a draw would secure first place. I kept telling myself ...Read more »
