    • Wayward Queen Attack 011510

      I played 10 games against this player tonight and ended up with a 6-4 win.  Not bad, but not great either.  My opponent oddly enough used the same opening as I did and I found it very informative.  This game ended up with a very interesting che... | Read More

    • A Cool Hand

      This is a five minute blitz.  I screwed up big time during this game .  But I kept my cool at the end and prevailed.  The ending is particularly nice in regards to tactics.  Enjoy.    | Read More
