2015 CHESS NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS OR GOALS

 Good good  

I am now at 1637.

I gained the points because a win on time.

I don't see why those points should count. I only made 10 moves and one check with a bishop. I was a strange openning defense on blacks part.

Link to short game.

Soon finally came,

I fell down yesterday. OUCH!

Lost eleven points, now at 1628'

Try to improve my positional chess. So lost as far as that goes...

I just won two games and my rating is up to 1638.

Actually I don't call it two games won, my opponent lost them both on time. It was the first time 2 % in 90 days that he has lost any that way and he has many more that he is still playing.

Oh Oh. . . Won another game went up to 1647.

At almost half the year June 28, 2015. I started at 1554.

It not possible that it can go much higher and be able to hold it there.

Won another team match game. .

Slowly I climb . . Step by step . . Inch by Inch . .

                             I got lucky and won one game.

                            Gained 15 pts.  I'm now at 1675.

Super high! Well done! 

Thanks SocialPanda

What ever goes up must come down.

Who said that?

I won another game and went up to 1685.

I am holding my breath going up, soon it has to stop.

Can it be possible that I will top 1700 ? ? ?

I got a draw and only a plus 1 rating point. Went to 1686.

I didn't know how to finish my opponent. It was frustrating.

Here is the link to that game, I was playing white.

Then I got a win and gained 6 rating points 

So now I am 1692. Unbeliveable only 8 away from 1700.

My goal was to get to 1600 not 1700. Only 4 months to go.

I checked your game against jimnastics (good name, huh?), you needed to bring your bishop back into the game (Bf3 putting pressure on his c6 weak point, instead of exchanging it for a pawn with Bxg6), and then you had to double your rooks on the d file, trying to play Bc5 and Rd8 at some point.

But sure, I think you were trying to checkmate him

Thanks for your input. I will try it in analysis feature.

DENVER

I got a draw back. I lost four points. It had to happen.

I am now at 1688. I have to apply myself as I see some losses in my future.

I don't even have a crystal ball yet.

Oops. I won two games gained 15 rating points.

I AM now at 1703. Can you believe that I went over 1700?

I see i WILL LOSE TWO games very soon.

In one I blundered and lost the queen for three of my opponents pieces.

IN the other I cannot make any headway and we are playing equally.

Three months until the end of the year and I hope I stay around 1700 my goal was 1600.

By the way my second goal was to raise my 10 Pin bowling average to 200. Well right now it is at 195, so I am getting close. The reason it has gone up is because I am focusing on being smooth on my approach, staying balanced on my release when I slide. I have increased my ball speed and cut down on the hook. All the combination has made me hit the 1-3 pocket and I carry more STRIKES taking out the 10 pin more.

I am pleased with my results. Now I have to get myself some expensive high end shoes with removable heels and soles. They cost around $200.00.
