    • Mora Tempo than you

      Recently became a non-premium member while I'm inbetween credit cards and as a result have lost some of my archived games.  Sadly this means my blog is going to be missing a few games in my chess development. This jumps into one of my games... | Read More

    • Hypermodern vs Classical. Thank you game explorer

      In this game, game explorer let me build to a middle game and look at enough other games that were similiar enough to my position to show me what I needed to do to win.  Without it I'm sure i would have made a positional blunder.  Inst... | Read More

    • White shouldn't try to mate too early

      In this game white plays like I used to in high school.  This brought back alot of memories and allowed me to turn what appears to be a strong mating attack into whites downfall. I think this stands as the biggest upset in a kiwi only tourn... | Read More

    • No interest in the endgame

      Random game I'd started to complete my 5 games so I could play in tournaments.  I'm not sure what happened in the end game there but it just looks like I lost interest.  I make a great (just boasting) tactical bishop sac which could have... | Read More

    • The day I shouldn't have played

      Grudge match - I believe I posted the first game I played against faith meteor.  (Maybe passed pawn power or some such blog)  Faith made a pretty early mistake which cost him the game.  In this game I look to return the favour with ... | Read More

    • First loss in awhile

      Hey new players.  Avoid doing what I did in this game and you will get far.  What an awesome chess lesson... right? I had to stop commenting on the moves because well I'm losing my ability to keep my eyes open. I eagerly await your a... | Read More

    • Not the most useful commentary I know

      Okay, so I'm a bit bored but wanted to continue with the tradition of blogging my games.  There were a few mistakes I made in this one that weren't really seized on by my opponent... any comments as to the game play or my analysis is ... | Read More

    • Passed Pawn Power

      This is an interesting game (I think) I would have really liked to have played it out without whites blunder.  I have repayed the favour in the rematch game though.  I think Faith is going to force a resignation before 20 moves.  *s... | Read More

    • 5th Game complete

      I found this position to be an interesting one, sadly the game ended all to quickly with white resigning (perhaps premature?)   Feel free to attack me for leaving the players name attached, but I figure you can see the game from my played lis... | Read More

    • Positional Tension...

      open game challenge 1350-1450 still on my quest to find my ratings range.  Was looking to be a promising game I think until white had a positional meltdown that eventually resulted in blundering away rook then knight then queen.   ... | Read More
