I played this game on 9/15/2015. I had been studying chess in random spurts and trying to learn too much too fast again. My mind was trying to process all this new information with the old information. I also had a terrible headache that crept up in the middle of my game and caused me to not calculate as accurately as I normally do (not saying too much though). This was a very tough loss for me just because of how bad I played but it is a great learning experience.

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!
