Hello there again! In my last 'brief' blog post I gave you folks a little glance into an opening project of my own making (which is still being analysed - not all too extensive of course!). This time, I figured it was high time for some more puzzl...
It's been a while since I wrote a blog post - very simple explanation: I've been so damn busy these past couple of months. I've enjoyed a nice summer, ended another year of school... but all in all, this year has seen a lot of chess! So, with a h...
