I am a semi retired tournament player/tournament director/organizer and more active as a casual player these days so it takes me a while to see messages/ get back sometimes.

I have played 30000+ games and love playing friendly social unrated games at clubs offline when I have the time and can sometimes be found running stuff for Berthoud chess players, down at the Longmont Chess Club or up at the Fort Collins Chess Club.

My lichess peak is a 2204, my chess.com peak is a 2082, my USCF peak is a 1944, my ECF peak is a 1892 and my FOA peak is a 1767 and I play mostly now to try and improve more/see what crazy stuff I can pull off against high level folks :D

I’m an Arena International Master and have got 300+ wins against experts and 100+ wins against masters so be wary/careful against me because at my best I’m an expert/a 2000+ level player :D

Hmu for a 7+ day per daily game if you’d like to play me/scroll down for more stats/info about me :D Peace, Much Love/Namaste :)

Gator Thru The Ages: Game By Game Additional Story/History/Game Notes - Google Docs

The above is my evolution/journey of growth as a chess player over 20 years from 8 months after I started to present day. Is missing a lot of old annotations unfortunately but it has got a lot of my biggest games and memories in it/shows how i evolved from a 800-1000 level player to the 1700-2000 level player I am today :D

I took a rather long road and spiralular way up, but have played games and met folks I could only ever dreamed of getting to have the pleasure and honor to meet and play and have ratings now that i couldn’t imagine ever being good enough to have when starting.

800s were good, 1000s were gods and 1700+ was unfathomable 18 years ago to me walking in. And I would never have dreamed of getting up that high and even higher and playing, losing to, drawing and beating some of the folks that I have over the years :D

Beat a GM for the first time a couple months ago/drew another GM the other day and those were the icing on the cake for what’s been a wild/amazing career :D

Hope you enjoy looking at it :D Best wishes, Peace, Much Love and Namaste
