Hi everyone! 

It has been a long time since I have posted a blog to Chess.com. I have been writing for my local chess center in their blog. 

Now I wanted to share with you a new thing I am doing and this my own YouTube channel. Please check it out and subscribe to get updates to all of my newest videos.

My name is David Blackwelder. I started playing tournament chess at the age of 22. I have worked my way from the 1200s to a peak rating of 1844 (December 2021). Those are my United States Chess Federation (USCF) ratings. My short-term goal is to reach a rating of 2000 which will earn me the Expert title. My long-term goal is to get the National Master (NM) title at a rating of 2200. As an adult they say it is near impossible, well I don't believe that. Therefore I am creating blogs and videos to help other adult players improve their chess. Thanks for following me!
