no more experimenting ..     comments : 0

my opening repertoire is etched in stone moving forward, my 63-yr. old mind can take only so much ..

i just made a momentally stupid mistake ..     comments : 0

in a game on here and resigned after less than a half dozen moves, BUT, this time I am NOT rage-quitting all my games. My mistake was due to a combination of carelessness and hubris, and I'm taking it as a learning moment. Onward and upward!!

Fiat Lux!     comments : 0

Let there be light :) .... Genesis 1:3

When people ask what the numeral 13 on my Fiat tattoo stands for (the name I've chosen for my Fiat500/Abarth being "Tredici", Italian for thirteen), God gives me an opportunity to explain, it is an Old Testament reference.

Praise God for me being able to witness in such fashion, AMEN!!

got a first round full-point bye     comments : 0

which will give me stronger opposition in the second round, apparently around a ~2000 FIDE player; i'm only ~1600 FIDE :( but I am 63 yrs after all, got to over 1900 provisional FIDE when I was 49, my best ever rating! so I can still do well, despite my age ..

making problems ....     comments : 0

try to make enough problems for your opponent, so they cannot make problems for you .... (yours truly;)

I've determined 1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 and then 2...Bf5?! ...     comments : 0

Is utter trash, despite some books proposing it. The following line claws its way back to a WORSE-THAN typical black opening disadvantage:

3. c4 e6 4. Nc3 Nf6 5. Nh4 Bb4 6. cxd5 Qxd5 7. e3 O-O 8. Bd2 Qd7 9. Qb3 Nc6 10. Be2 Rab8 11. O-O a6 12. Rac1 Bd6

I've now got something different up my sleeve, a quite sound move, nevertheless played successfully by Marshall (and even Spielmann depending on subsequent moves) back in the day

Why do some players play in rating groups two below     comments : 0

For the e-points if they win? Like if a player rated 2250+, plays in a 1900-2299 rating group?
