I am a semi retired tournament player and more active as a casual player these days so it takes me a while to see messages/ get back sometimes.

I have played 30000+ games , 250+ ECF rated games, 4000+ FOA rated games and 6000+ USCF games and love playing rated games online on chess.com in US Chess Members Only, Jackalope USCF Club, Robs Tournament Club and Waltham Chess Club when I jump in :D I also love playing friendly social unrated games at clubs offline when I have the time and can sometimes be found running stuff for Berthoud chess players or down at the Longmont Chess Club.

My online USCF peak is a 1944 and my USCF OTB peak is a 1741 :D

Hmu for a 7+ day per daily game if you’d like to play me/scroll down for more stats/info about me :D Peace, Much Love/Namaste :)

Gator Thru The Ages: Game By Game Additional Story/History/Game Notes - Google Docs

The above is my evolution/journey of growth as a chess player over 20 years from 8 months after I started to present day. Is missing a lot of old annotations unfortunately but it has got a lot of my biggest games and memories in it/shows how i evolved from an unrated ms player to a 800 player to a 1200 and 1400 player to the arena fide master/ high B/low A class player that i am today :D

I took a rather long road and spiralular way up, but have played games and met folks I could only ever dreamed of getting to have the pleasure and honor to meet and play and have ratings now that i couldn’t imagine ever being good enough to have when starting.

800s were good, 1000s were gods and 1700 was unfathomable 18 years ago to me walking in. And I would never have dreamed of getting up that high and even higher online and playing, losing to, drawing and beating some of the folks that I have over the years :D

Beat a GM for the first time the other day and was the icing on the cake for what’s been a wild/amazing career :D

Hope you enjoy looking at it :D Best wishes, Peace, Much Love and Namaste

185 USCF Wins and 100 USCF Draws against Experts (Anyone who’s ever hit 2000+ USCF established in any format online or over the board that doesn’t have another higher title, is an expert in my book even if they drop back below 2000, just like national masters who drop below 2200 are still considered national masters. )
