Its just the classic frustration, getting pummeled by your father in hess. What could be more cliche. I will post the game when it is finished but 'placetas' is beating me to a pulp. Learned? Never move your queen then forget about her- hmm I w...
I am starting to believe that chess is no quick fix. I find that I lack chess vision and despite my efforts I seem to not be improving. I still let go of pieces and don't see that sudden knight assault my queen. I wonder if this game is for me at ...
Using this site as a primary source, I have decided to turn chess into my own personal martial arts program for my mind. I found an excellent source of study suggestions at the following site http://www.chessville.com/instruction/Center_Squares/S...
Something I am working on, in answering why chess in the forums: I am still trying to figure it out. I can say that it appears to be man's ultimate riddle. It is a game that draws and something speaks to me in side that says, "Keep playing, you w...
You guessed it! Here it is for the archive! I think I was so obsessed with mate and time that I did not see the setup coming at me in the end. Let me know what my regular fans think....
Here is a stunning and weak afternoon game, somehow got snuffed, had to resign.
And a game before that computer one that left me moderately dissatisfied, comments?
Taking the advice of my chess coach (CoachRJ317) I decided to do some live games. Playing the chess computer (on EASY) I have this embarassing game to show off to my infinite regret... Laugh by all means! Donations in the form of advice are welc...
A while ago I heard that you cannot have more than one chess coach/teacher at a time. The tactics and advice tends to pile or hinder on the others. I wonder if that is what is going on. I have bought chess books, and played turn-based, found chess...
Did it Again? Or would it be did NOT do it again? Lost another to a rather stronger player. I wonder if that is the problem? But I know you have to learn to lose before you can win, so I am patient. I got Chessmaster 11th (wow it IS like 10) and a...
Alas another loss, this time an old one, by all means feel free to explore. But the local chess club is going quite well and has even gone virtual. Looking forward to all your comments. Someone tell me why I did Bg5!!!
Here is another game that I let happen. Look at the bowling ball Queen at the end! Always look for a way out for your King!
Here is my first loss, I know I did bad, I move mechanically without a plan. As Silman would say I NEED A PLAN! Feel more than happy to comment, even if it is just "LOL" POST LOOK: I waited about five hours, having a darn good jog on the levee. ...
It is coming together. I am the moderator of the Jesuit High School Chess Club (photos pending) and things are going very well. RJ (CoachRJ317) is teaching our boys the essentials of the Game of Kings and we have a tornament at DeLaSalle in Decemb...
Pulled out from the ancient archives my copy of "Reassess your Chess" by J Silman. I heard alot of good things about this book and I am hoping it would help my game, since I suffer not only from chess blindness but chess blindMess. Comments and s...
