I am excited to announce that I have been asked to be a contributor to my local chess center's blog. You can find my content along with many other personalities at Charlotte Chess Center.

 

I will continue to post my games here but training methods and other chess related material will be on the other blog. I look forward to seeing you around.

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!
