So tonight makes 5 weeks in a row that I haven lost a game, pretty impressive for myself. However, what is more impressive is that as I got to my local chess club a few hours earlier than usual I sat down with this month's edition of Chess Life and as I was playing through the games I came across one that I recognized as one of mine. I had submitted a few months back and now it was annonated by GM Lev Alburt. I was so excited as I had not really expected for my game to be selected. So if you want to see it, it is on page 46 of this month's Chess Life. Now on with tonight's game:

My name is David Blackwelder. I started playing tournament chess at the age of 22. I have worked my way from the 1200s up to a peak rating of 1783 (June 2017). 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 reach 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 as well. Thanks for following me!
