http://sparfy.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
2000 Before I Croak. Saturday, December 22, 2007. So i was doing some thinking. And i figured it out. :-) i was digging a trench in the back yard. 6 feet deep, i think that's like 14 meters for you guys in the rest of the world. If you missed the last post. go read it! Just kidding. it said i had to think about how i should best learn how to learn to play chess. well the answer that came up wasn't really the path to getting better. but, the thing that has been bothering me a bit. NOT HOW TO GET THERE!

Well, anyway it looks pretty interesting, you know what you are going to play against d4 and a couple of the other starts you can use it too. some people think its not too good so thats also the kind of stuff i like.

2000 Before I Croak. Thursday, January 31, 2008. Deer vrs the terminator. Wow am i both happy and surprised and a bit . sad i guess. as a part of me needs to die to get better. Some times when i watch those african nature shows where the whatever runs after a whatchamacalit and they run and run. i am always hoping the whathcamacalit gets away. i guess i dont like to see things get ran down and eaten. an honest dual however - thats ok. if both want to fight just fine. go at it. And here is my break through.

2000 Before I Croak. Thursday, June 12, 2008. I am still around and playing just been busy. :-). June 14, 2008 at 5:00 AM. This comment has been removed by the author. July 12, 2008 at 4:13 PM. I read The Art of Learning on the plane on the way to the World Open. It was more motivating than anything else, but there were some practical bits about learning from people who fit your style, dealing with victory and loss in a healthy way, and how to reduce your recovery time. :).

The Endgame Tactician: likesforests is back.
http://likesforests.blogspot.com/2009/06/likesforests-is-back.html
Tuesday, June 23, 2009. My son's born and I'm ready to study chess again. I reckon some rust has settled onto my game, but it's nothing that a little tactical study can't shake off. I plan to stop by everyone's blog in the next couple days to see what's up. I hope all the knights have been making great progress, that dktransform's in good spirits, and that my old A-Team and more will be at the World Open again this year. Have a good one! Our youngest darling just turned 2yo. Kids are such an adventure.

The Endgame Tactician: Blitzkrieg
http://likesforests.blogspot.com/2009/03/blitzkrieg.html
Sunday, March 08, 2009. In my January tournament, two games entered the Old Indian. Which I was unprepared for. In my February tournament, similarly two games entered the Stonewall. And then there was a Winawer. According to my Moskalenko, .Bf8 followed by .Bb7 was a surprising pet line of Petrosian. My opponent looked surprised. He broke the tournament silence to say so! I need more experience. I've turned to blitz. Ah the torture of the French player. I don't know why you guys do it. :). Most people gr...
