Chess on the Borderline. A summary of the chess experiences of Terry Chaisson. Saturday, February 16, 2013. 2013 Northern Alberta Open. I played in the Northern Alberta Open. I took a bye in round 1 so that I wouldn't have to get up early to make the 2.5 hr drive into Edmonton or spend Friday night in a hotel. 0.5/1. After 29.Ng5. White to play - what is the correct move? Paired against Carlita Romero, an unrated player from 10 hrs north of Edmonton. I played the French Defense! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Just So: Playing through coffee while sipping chess games?!
http://velikimacak.blogspot.com/2011/03/play-online-chess-event-lienz-open-site.html
Dienstag, 8. März 2011. Playing through coffee while sipping chess games? Ja, eigentlich hab ich mir das auch anders vorgestellt. Eher Käffchen schlürfen und dabei in aller Ruhe Partien nachspielen und nicht umgekehrt. So einfach ist das oft gar nicht, selbst, wenn man ausreichend Zeit hat. Einzubauen. Ich holte mir per Mail schnell großmeisterlichen Rat von Kevin Spraggett (der übrigens diesen Viewer in seinem Blog. Für den Anfang gibt es gleich einmal ein paar Partien der letzten Zeit zum Nachspielen.

Just So: Kontra?

Dienstag, 5. April 2011. Eine nette Partie mit einem ästhetischen Schlussbild gelang mir heute beim Blitzen im Internet:. Playchess.com 3 0, 4.4.2011. 8 f3 exf3 9 0-0-0 Nd7 10 Nxf3 e6 11 Ne5 Ke7 (natürlich nicht 11.Ke8? 12 Bb5 -) 12 Nd3. 13 b4 a5 14 a3 axb4 15 axb4 Bg7 16 Kb2. Die Figurenaufstellung auf der Diagonale a1-h8 sieht bereits verdächtig aus. 17 Kb3 Nf6 18 Be2 Bd7 19 Rhe1? Stärker war sofort das Zwischenschach 20.Ba4 , doch ich stellte dem Gegner lieber eine kleine Falle). 23 cxb6 e.p.

Chess on the Borderline. A summary of the chess experiences of Terry Chaisson. Saturday, March 9, 2013. The March of Kings tournament is taking place this weekend in Calgary. I was planning on playing in it and expecting to get at least 1 FIDE rated opponent so that I would complete the nine games needed to get an official FIDE rating. My wife and kids had Thursday and Friday off from school, so I took the two days off work. We planned to go down to Banff and do some skiing. The Edmonton Championship fin...

Chess on the Borderline: Candidates
http://terry-chaisson.blogspot.com/2013/04/candidates.html
Chess on the Borderline. A summary of the chess experiences of Terry Chaisson. Saturday, April 20, 2013. I must admit I was cheering for Ivanchuk throughout the tournament just because he is so unpredictable. Losing 5 games on time and then beating the two leaders in the final rounds is typical for him. Kramnik and Svidler also impressed me. Aronian had a great start but a horrible finish and must be disappointed Gelfand did better than I expected him to do. Saturday, April 20, 2013.

Chess on the Borderline: Two Steps Up, One step back
http://terry-chaisson.blogspot.com/2013/03/two-steps-up-one-step-back.html
Chess on the Borderline. A summary of the chess experiences of Terry Chaisson. Sunday, March 3, 2013. Two Steps Up, One step back. I had been very optimistic about my chess recently. In addition to feeling I was playing better OTB, my online blitz rating had broken through the 2000 barrier, my CFC rating reached a new high of 1916, and I am on the verge of getting an official FIDE rating that will likely be somewhere between 1925 and 2025, depending on my next FIDE rated game. I thought it would be a goo...
