Tonight I played at the local club in Charlotte, NC. I have not played rated chess, nor have I really studied, since July 7 this year after my short return earlier this year.

I had the black pieces against an opponent I had faced only once before and felt that I had gotten lucky in my win against her last time. She surprised me with the opening sequence of moves but I played my own game and got a pretty comfortable position for myself to play. The game is below:

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!
