roadblock

this afternnon games went very well indeed -- up to 171 score as of thursday 4pm -- after supper sesion well see if my luck hold up  thanks to all for the well wishes - i could use them 

That's awesome. On Chess.com we have a mantra: Battle, Battle, Battle! 

Keep it up

after many ups and downs got to 181 this  friday noon session maybe after my nap i try again would be nice to get to 200 my highest ever before day breaks -- i shouldn'd wish for things to lofty

awesome! you'll make it to 200 one day

well not to today played sunday afternoon and  played very  badly  back in the basement level again 120 and under -- again playing a lot of players at 200 plus skill level and not under 150 which i have  set -- but i just play to get to 30/40 moves before i am beat - which is ok i guess - i believe 200 is just way to far out of my play to ever make -- at least using conventual methods to win- - i will continue on maybe tonight it will be better outcome -- more draws- less losses- more wins-  off to my afternoon nap after my meds are taking hold - see you at just after supper 

monday morning and three losses  in row and one win cheaply gotten- out to put up xmas tree lights now from the honey due list -- before i fade -- see after lunch before the nap or after which ever comes first 

monday afternoon lost three in row to bottom feeders like me - one win - i only win when i get lucky -- i guess - at least i lost all three in the 30/40/50 moves -- but little consolation- downward slide again back in the basement -- well at least xmas tree lights are up -- let snow let snow let it snow ------ oh wait !!!! i've  got to get my snow blower out of the shed and see if still works this year -- will nap later  and play games  just before supper

Brilliant. To reiterate the old adage: Battle, battle, battle!

Every win is one step closer to mastery of this game.

this morning tuesday got lucky again  three wins in a row and  one loss  still in the basement mind you but i saw a way to sneak a win here and there out  doesn't always work but 2 out three times it seems to -- will further investigate  will see you just before noon 

when someone wins against me now i tell them that they are too smart for me -or that i am stupid cause most times they don't win on their merits they win because i do something really stupid  or miss a really east seen move -  once in awhile even when i run pretty good game i get beat by someone who plays almost prefect moves against and to those players i always say good game they beat me cause they where smarter  than me----- not me  doing really stupid things 

back to basement times again 3 wins three losses----aguh!!!!!!!!!!!

thursday morning three losses in a row -- i must be on a skid to the 100 again

maybe this afternoon things will turn around if i find a way not to play 230 to 250 players they are just too smart for me -- 

friday at noon-- didn't feel to well this morning to play -- three losses in a row back to 100 score again

there is no good work going on here - but thanks anyways  Saturday morning three more losses well try three more before giving up for a while - worst slide i have had in weeks -- still wish i fix that playing 200 to 250 type plyers  and just play 180 and down players  maybe its bot time for the rest of day --  

sunday morning three wins four losses -- sliding again-- down down to the 100 pit bottom 

maybe tonight will better 

Battle battle battle - remember this addage! There is something so heartwarming seeing a total beginner beat all odds and rise to the tippy top. 

Noobs really are amazing creatures, as I have said before. You can learn all that there is to know about their ways in a minute, and yet after a hundred years they can still surprise you at a pinch!

Try to play longer games.

longer games just make losing a longer time element -  i do no better playing longer games than i do shorter - 5 minutes  sometimes 10 minutes if i feel well enough ,is best for me cause it gives me  about three or four games before i fatigue and then rest- 

monday morning started out not so good - three losses in row only one win  going to try one min. games since iam now at 100 again  

just before mondays supper three really good  losses  45/56/61 moves before defeat  at least thats not 12/13/14 moves
