Wow, haven't written one of these in a while!
So, after a loss yesterday to someone who I would REALLY like to have beaten... as well as a few lost games to 1700 players that I've started to rack up, I think it's time for me to step my game up a notch. I hereby (just for the sake of using that word :P) declare (another great one) that my run to 2000 has started :). I'll be resigning all my lost games today and I'll start studying a little. Wish me luck!
