OK people. Need some opinions here. If your in a game where unless your opponent makes the most serious of mistakes, do you go down fighting or opt for the quick death? I don't mean 1 move before a checkmate, I almost always give them that. But a ...
Gas costs too much. It's really flipping me out. Got chess.com on my phone, now i'm in trouble. I make moves at red lights. Oy. My last blog I debated paying to upgrade, wound up doing it. Now I'm hooked on tactics training and want to upgrade aga...
Hey friends. The question of the day is about stepping up the old membership. I've been a member for a few minutes & no denying I love the site. But to shell out the hard earned hard currency? Now, it's not that I'm cheap or that I dont w...
I was abducted by aliens. Some resembled Jabba the Hut, others Alf, some like an out of shape predator. I'm sorry to report that I found no other intelligent life. Keep the anal probe jokes to yourself cartman. It's nice to be back on earth, free....
Hello to all friends, this is zlhflan's son, I believe my dad will be able to be online in a few months again and I wanted to thank everyone who kept him on your friends list and in your thoughts, that will mean a lot to him. Also I have my own pr...
Well there comes a time for us to say good bye, at least for now. My games will either time out or my son will finish them. I will bring some fun memories of the friends I made here. I hope that God will bless you all. ...
Is my soul gone for good? Can I win it back from fiddler?! Only the next game will tell. Same chess time, same chess station. I have won back my soul! A split is a split is a split!
Hi boys & girls. This isn't about the pilgrims telling the indians to have their people call our people and we'll do lunch. This is much simpler. Over the last several months I've joined groups & tournaments. I've challenged & been cha...
It's late night Saturday night/sunday morning. I feel like saying something wise, or meaningful. But I have nothing. Why blog with nothing? Why not. No one reads these anyway. I have a whole bag of peanut m&m's, half a pack of smokes, and a fu...
Wow, a fifty point ratings drop. A serious losing streak, 8 out of 10. My wins, unrated. Singing the blues. This kills me. I say my ratings dont matter. I believe this when I say it. Then I drop 50 points and quote Conan movies. hehe! I have to s...
Well another month to blog. This past week I've decided to let my opinions be known. I go to the forums and tack on my wisdom. I know, I know. I've been called a wiseguy, but wise you ask? Yes I say! This week I, your humble narrator was called wi...
No I'm not talking about my haircut, that was last month. I'm speaking about the last game at Yankee stadium. I knew for the last few years, they spoke about it lots. Pictures of the new park. Right across the street. 25 grand luxury boxes(per gam...
Hello to my friends and chess family. Last month I spoke of making it to, and staying in the 1400's. Since then I have tasted the 1500's. I enjoyed this taste. Unfortunately I lasted there about 5 minutes. Thanks Wayne. I say all the time how I do...
i find myself in the 1400's. i've been here for a little while now. i think it's accurate. i still lose to lower ranks, but this teaches me ranks dont really matter. i enjoy playing. when the day comes that winning means more than playing, i'll sw...
just when i win a few in a row, and my head starts to swell, my rating inches up to where i think it should be. then i lose 3 in a row. i know its for fun, but how do you know what i'm going to do, before i do? stop! i will be writing the scr...
