Chess Blog, Books, & Scholarships
Greetings,
I have been playing in the Wednesday Panera tournament this November. My 2nd round opponent is a chess blogger, who I just discovered when he linked to a picture on my site. I guess I was too harsh in the post-mortem, as he wrote: "What particularly stung is a comment he made post-mortem to me of “That’s why you are a 1600 player”, which he didn’t mean in a negative way..."
In hindsight, I should have kept my mouth shut. He thought 25...Bf3 was drawing. I had not considered that move and made up some post-mortem garbage about how I would just do this and that and still win. However, Fritz corrected me and suggested that it was in my best interest to take the draw there.
So, I was quite impressed with Brian's analysis and felt like the fool. He was even wise enough to hold his tongue on his blog:

Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.

Hi,
I hope you are well. I know you are involved in the chess community in Colorado and I would like to make you aware of an opportunity for high school students to go to college on a chess scholarship and study under Yasser Seirawan. Lindenwood University is recruiting chess players (of all levels) to play on our team along with Several IM including Anna Sharevich. I am part of the team and would be glad to talk details with anyone interested.
Enjoy the weekend,
George Krasnopolskiy
