mate in 1

I managed to calculate this one pretty well! Since I had a clear picture of where my attack was going to be launched it was much easier to calculate the sequence of moves.

It nearly been three weeks from my last journal(I believe). Well now I have improved from what I was before. With the help from chess books and chessmaster grandmaster eddit. I increased in knowledge. Also taking Pandolfini rating test(that's included inside chessmaster program) and the results show in the following link.http://img234.imageshack.us/img234/7417/29584558ia0.jpg Seems like revised journal helped out eh? Still haven't been going to real tournament's yet. Still doing the type for fund raiser or for fun. And learn new opening moves as well(won't tell ya what kind tho :D) As well how to defend, attack and balance things out. Currently im playing a simulatenuise game(four games at the same time) on chess master. Comments will be lovely. I'll continue working on my chess and become seruise with it from this day!

Here is a harder.........................(I hope it is)

here it is

When you look at someone elses trophys there will be a green box in the top right hand corner that talks about voting for trophys Zhane and I are going for some trophys. So please vote for us.

A game of mine against the computer. Good thing I was thinking seriuse on this game. Nearly lost with all the upcoming checkmate threats.

Here it is

here we go again I am slow on the puzzles because I was working with other members..ok here it is

Since I was out of chess.com for two week's, I decided to work on my chess during those two weeks. Turn's out I did the right thing. While analyzing most of my game's, most are lost if openent plays right moves. Most are wins if I play the right move's. And I figure out how to play the endgame with some pieces. Yet a Knight + bishop + king vs king, queen+pawn+king vs queen+king, queen+pawn+king vs queen+pawn+king, and rook+king vs queen+king rook+king vs two rooks+king and each in vice versa.    So I decided to do this.Monday, study the "win in twenty or less moves" book. This book is usefull, since I know of ways how to mate when openent has same sort of position of the book. As well learning why the masters made they move.Tuesday, work on random endgames. Meaning I pick random pieces and try and checkmate the king. After five succesfull or non-successfull I had pieces to the other sides such as queen two or one rook two or one bishop two or one knight, ugh you get the dealWedsnday, Read "Pandolfinis Chess complete" by Bruce Pandolfini. Random or selected pages for thirty minutes.Thursday, Play against the elderly, young, what ever age at the park. Friday, Work on endgames again. Same as tuesday. Saturaday, work on opening moves. (recently learn yogoslav attack modern and old line to play against the sicilian accelarated or reg dragon) Sunday, take a break. My revised journal. And now im making puzzles. Deciding to either make them easy or hard. Either way, I decided to make a intresting training strategy for turn base.    ~~~~~~~~~~        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~      ~~~~~~~~~~~~               ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~     Goes a bit something like this. First we have roughly about. . . Im guess ing 3,4, 5, 6 people talk in a instant messenger program(ill talk about some you don't need to download) And have two people play a game. Something like this3 people - 2 ppl play, and discuss variations, and plans4 people - 2 ppl play, disscuss variation, and plans.5 people - 4 ppl play, disscuss variation, and plans6 people - 4ppl play, disscuss variation, and plans.Lowest and highest rating play if 3,4 people Average and Highest rating play if 5, 6 people.  Anyone agree? Www.meebo.com is a site you just need a email addrease I recommand hotmail.comwww.ebuddy.com is the same as meebo, but a bit different only two I know, other wise you can use msn, yahoo. I use meebo mostly. 

well, I'm still pretty much a chess noobie.  I learned the game when I was 13.  A friend of mine was on the chess team and made fun of me for being on the football team.  He'd say things like, "You're just a dumb jock, how could you EVER understand this game?"  So within two weeks I learned the basics of how the pieces moved and challenged him to a game.  I won two out of three games, and needless to say he kept his mouth shut after that!  I never thought about chess again until about two years ago (am 32 now)  I started playing during break times with a group friends.  I was horrible when I started playing them, but I just kept playing and challenging myself to do better.  I started reading articles on Chesscafe and Silman's The Amateur's Mind and suddenly my chess improved.  I then joined a chess club in my area and joined the USCF.  I've only just started to play OTB tournaments (my rating is a meager 801!) but I find it exciting to test myself against other opponents who are rated much higher than me!  I've also just started to look over games of my favorite players( Korchnoi because his style is something that I long to posess! and Fischer because he knew how to dominate the chess board.)  My training is limited to about an hour to an hour and a half in which I will go over my own games, go over games of my favorite players, and try solving chess problems.  My goals are to beat the stereotype that it is impossible for anyone to become master when they have started playing serious chess later in life.  It may take until I am 60, but I will enjoy the experience along the way!

I may have been grounded, yet I could still play my chess at school! Yes, I played this game with a friend. Good thing I was working on my analyzing skills on the other day. More puzzles to come.   

dudes(well I'm the-dude) but our group is called the study buddy group I think we should get together once a week (pair up) with one other person and during the game tell others what you would have moved and why.Then every week we will switch. If we do this we all don't have to do it on the sameday just a day both of you can do.
