Achieving NM!
How to attain NM or any level of chess: play chess games and learn from them. Use your resources: start with Google. Now that I have answered that question for all time:
The following annotated games show how I review my games although I am likely to review parts of them in more detail than I have showed below. This review includes a vain celebration of my success at winning some shiny red letters next to my username. You are welcome! 
Below are my games from the Cherry Hill Open on 9/28.
Any suggestions, let me know --- I find them sooo cute. 
I know, unfortunately for lazy readers, the text is in the PGN. Too bad.
Thanks. :-)
And finally for funsies.
36, M. I started playing tournament chess regularly at 21 years of age. Often I miss chat as I play on iPad or have chat disabled. I have some skill in speedreading and an insatiable appetite for knowledge. I have played almost all of the current FIDE 2700+ club online, or at least their public accounts, which is a great privilege.
Eat, sleep, exercise, maintain good oral hygiene, live in an environment that fulfills your needs = happy life.
Currently I am exploring some new openings using my online games as training so my rating will be volatile sometimes.
Please note I only accept challenges from people I know in real life, if you are a verified user of a training group I am in and around my rating level IRL or pool rematches. Thanks for understanding!
