Hi again all! Me again!

Just had a few horrific games where i've been soundly beaten by players a few hundred points below me

Sure everyone has ups and downs bad games our losses teach us more than our wins.

I think I would go with Scientific American.

I remember a computer match kramnik played a few years ago where he has thinking so deeply in so many lines that he missed the simplest mate in one.

The computer had a queen bishop battery on his king and he simply forgot to defend it. The match was for a million bucks or something, so I'd call that a bad day.

Yeah, I remember the good ol days when I first passed 11................. oh wait, I've never been in the 1100's. I did drop down to 1484 after my 2nd tournament but I quickly snapped out of it.

The only days that realy mater is the day that you are born, and the day that you find out why. Thats something that I realised after going thru tough times, like getting the whole world against me and getting swared at and getting the toughest comments shadering your dreams in forums (litteraly) At times like these, you start to find out if you are realy worth it or not. But then I started to give private lessons, and then I started to have fans (suprisingly) and then I posted puzzles instead of games. And analyze other peoples games instead of mine, and then I started to play against fans and analyze with them, what a plesure it was to do so ! I wasnt used to be liked and be called inspiring instead of a coward, it was amazing :) And then I started to play against higher rated players              ( 1750-2500 ) And sometime I came out succesful :) And I started to get recomended as a coach and a person to go to for advice. I started from the bottom, and now I am here.

remember that saying, it has alot of power and also remember :

Just do it, Why ? Because EVERYTHING is possible.
