Cutting Back

It has come to my attention that I have been spending a lot of time on this site--a LOT. I feel it is too much, so I am cutting back.

I wanted to be sure that all my friends are aware. I am not leaving the site (at least, not right now). I will most likely still be on the site every day, so I will still be able to manage my groups, specifically the CHT. But I plan to be online a lot less, hopefully less than an hour (maybe two) per day.

I deeply appreciate all my friends here; I enjoy the interaction I have with all of you. Please understand that I am not cutting back because of you. On the contrary, I am cutting back *despite* you. But I feel and know that God has bigger things for me than chess, and I want to give more of my time to meaningful things. I hope you can all understand. :)

Musings of an Intermediate Player

Top Bloggers

As an intermediate-level player, I hope to provide a point of view on chess that is relatable and fun. Please check out my blog intro here!

Once a week, I post an analysis of one of my own games. I personally believe that self-analysis is critical to the development of the chess player. You can read my story (as relates to analysis) in my article, Why Analyze?

In addition to my weekly game analyses, I also occasionally post my thoughts on some chess-related topic, such as resignation or stalemate. If you have a topic you would like me to see me write about, please message me with your idea. I would love to hear from you!

I also have a standing invitation to all members: send me your games! I analyze my own games all the time, and I would be more than happy to analyze some of yours. Now because of the time involved, I cannot commit to analyzing every single game I receive, but I will definitely look over every game I get, and I will do my best to do a full analysis and post it to my blog.

Sincerely,

Isaac
