Enjoy the holidays!

King's Gambit Declined: Falkbeer Countergambit Accepted In this game, I was grossly out-ranked against this player (1133 vs my 884 at the time). I played a tough, gritty game against them with an 85.9% accuracy and shocked them with the victory! Do YOU have some great games that you’ve looked back and analyzed and used to improve?

December 12, 2022 As of today, my Rapid rating is 940. I’m on a quest to learn, practice and compete my way up to achieve a 1200 rating. Here I will be sharing the material I’ve studied, what I may have learned from it, and how I’ve applied it to future games and improvements. HOPEFULLY I’ll also be sharing accomplishments and ultimately an achieved 1200+ rating! Follow me on my journey! Games 1319 W/D/L 625 / 54 / 640 So, current win record is 47.38% of my games I’ve played. I’ll certainly be working on increasing that!

If any beginners want to do practice games I am 1150 rated rapid, around 1000 in blitz and bullet, which is top 50 for the club (I also have the 2nd highest puzzle ratings in the club at 2530). Rated or unrated, no more than 15|10. I will also use game review on your games and i can coach you through your mistakes during the game (must be rapid for me to have enough time). I would recommend you are at least 150+ below my rating. Reply on this forum or send a message directly, please don’t challenge me spontaneously I probably won’t accept. Thanks, Mason
