Hello

Ipsum delorum est or something like that. I forget how it goes. In the old days, not as long ago as when we called them weblogs but long enough ago that blogging was a normal thing to do for a certain type of weirdo, when you started a blog it would autogenerate a hello post with a bunch of dummy text in Latin. So anyway, that's the reference.

Not really sure what a chess blog is for, or why anyone would read mine, or for that matter why ye olde chess dot com even has a blog function, but I have always liked blogging, so here goes.

As for content, I suppose I'll have something to say about the chess issues of the chess day from time to time -- I've got a hot take to share about Levy Rozman's struggles in the recent NYC GM norm tournament for example -- but mostly I'm going to use this blog as an online repository for my chess training notes. 

BORING. 

What can I say? Them's the breaks.

Why do something so boring? Well, because I'm trying to get better at chess and a good thing to do when you're trying to get better at something is to keep a log of the things you've been doing to advance that project. Since I do most of my chess training here on the web, it seems like a good idea to put that log here too. Sort of a web based log, if you take my meaning.
