Here is my 1st round game of Tuesday Night Action 33 at the Charlotte Chess Center. If you want a full recap with annotations and helpful tips on how to improve your chess then check out my full blog post for the Charlotte Chess Center blog.
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!
