I am a semi retired tournament player/tournament director/organizer and more active as a casual player these days so it takes me a while to see messages/ get back sometimes.

I have played 30000+ games and love playing friendly social unrated games at clubs offline when I have the time and can sometimes be found running stuff for Berthoud chess players, down at the Longmont Chess Club or up at the Fort Collins Chess Club.

I am an Arena International Master and I play mostly now to try and improve more/see what crazy stuff I can pull off against high level folks :D

Hmu for a 7+ day per daily game if you’d like to play me/scroll down for more stats/info about me :D Peace, Much Love/Namaste :)

Gator Thru The Ages: Game By Game Additional Story/History/Game Notes - Google Docs

The above is my evolution/journey of growth as a chess player over 20 years from 8 months after I started to present day. Is missing a lot of old annotations unfortunately but it has got a lot of my biggest games and memories in it/shows how i evolved from a 800-1000 level player to the 1700-2000+ level player I am today :D

I took a rather long road and spiralular way up, but have played games and met folks I could only ever dreamed of getting to have the pleasure and honor to meet and play and have ratings now that i couldn’t imagine ever being good enough to have when starting.

800s were good, 1000s were gods and 1400+ was unfathomable 18 years ago to me walking in. And I would never have dreamed of getting up that high and even higher and playing, losing to, drawing and beating some of the folks that I have over the years :D

Beat a GM for the first time a couple months ago/drew another GM the other day and those were the icing on the cake for what’s been a wild/amazing career :D

Hope you enjoy looking at it :D Best wishes, Peace, Much Love and Namaste
