I'll annotate the game so you don't have to read too much now.                I had a great deal of fun this game.

Even though it was a 3 minute game, I really enjoyed how I switched from a kingside attack to a queenside attack to a series of exchanges in the middle of the board that lead to my opponent resigning. http://blog.chess.com/mueller/a-masterpiece-in-3-minutesThu, 13 Nov 2008 20:04:05 -0800http://blog.chess.com/mueller/a-masterpiece-in-3-minutesMy track record with Rybka is pretty much what people would assume, I lose every time. I started playing 1 minute games with her to learn openings. If she moves instantaneously, she is still in her book, and if she starts thinking its out of book....http://blog.chess.com/mueller/mueller-1-rybka-231Fri, 03 Oct 2008 12:02:25 -0700http://blog.chess.com/mueller/mueller-1-rybka-231This was my best day at the tournament, which is strange because I had a headache all day and I was exhausted from not getting enough sleep all weekend. My first game was a draw and my second game was a win.

Both of my games took a long time, one because it was a long game and the other because my opponent was deaf and didn't hear my draw offers, and took a long time to move even simple thin...http://blog.chess.com/mueller/my-awful-performance-pt-2Wed, 03 Sep 2008 12:02:35 -0700http://blog.chess.com/mueller/my-awful-performance-pt-2I decided to go to the Oregon Open Chess tournament. I did about as comically middle of the road as possible. My wins from blunders, my loses were due to blunders. It was a 3 day tournament, 2 rounds a day, 40/20 SD/1. I can make excuses, but basi...http://blog.chess.com/mueller/my-awful-performance-pt-1-of-3Tue, 02 Sep 2008 20:18:27 -0700http://blog.chess.com/mueller/my-awful-performance-pt-1-of-3This is a game I just played here using a 24/hours a move setting, and as per typical of my games with this opponent, they have been fast and wild and this game was no exception. I know there are lots of ways I could have played it better as for s...http://blog.chess.com/mueller/a-strange-attackWed, 27 Aug 2008 10:25:54 -0700http://blog.chess.com/mueller/a-strange-attack I hope all of you enjoy this game as much as I did. I had fun with my bishops,  and slowly pushed back the black camp&nbs...http://blog.chess.com/mueller/a-fun-bishop-battleSun, 25 May 2008 09:52:30 -0700http://blog.chess.com/mueller/a-fun-bishop-battle
