Was a wonderful day with the family. :)likesforestshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12363355892919115087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23075362.post-5505090745156961412008-12-03T02:46:00.000-05:002008-12-03T02:46:00.000-05:00Hey blunder good luck to you.Hey blunder good luck to you.wanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12810798413949148423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23075362.post-80132136380142825082008-11-29T21:47:00.000-05:002008-11-29T21:47:00.000-05:00your natural genius shines through, like the sun a...your natural genius shines through, like the sun above the clouds, always shinning, even if hidden from view for a moment or a day....<BR/><BR/>.... in full splenderous glory.transformationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10834788878068428887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23075362.post-46776039117484555832008-11-29T16:27:00.000-05:002008-11-29T16:27:00.000-05:00I managed to score an out of print tournament book...<I>I managed to score an out of print tournament book annotated by Alekhine on ebay. </I><BR/><BR/>Awesome.<BR/><BR/>I was up there watching Amesbury kick Newburyport's ass in football. Awesome as well.<BR/><BR/>I've been working on the damned Nf3 caro kann (that is, 1 e4 c6 2 Nf3?! d5).<BR/><BR/>Nobody covers it in their books. Well, Houska covers a line that has never come up, but in my games fully half of my CK games are this variation, so I'm on my own. Within this variation there is an exchange (3 exd), an advance (3 e5), and lots of other analogs of the typical 2 d4 type positions, but often with subtle differences.<BR/><BR/>Overall, it seems better for black, as he can play Bg4 right away, and eventually trade a bad bishop for that Knight. However, I'm a little bummed that it gets zero coverage in my books. GMs need to look at statistics of crappy players in addition to GMs when writing a repertoire book! :)<BR/><BR/>OK, enough venting. I wouldn't have done it if I didn't know you were a CK player.Blue Devil Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12045468316613818510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23075362.post-3152040600661196402008-11-29T07:47:00.000-05:002008-11-29T07:47:00.000-05:00Good luck om Sunday.

Brutal schedule 50/2, 25/1, 25/1. No sudden death! 3 games on Saturday and 2 on Sunday.Pollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13747958243702670987noreply@blogger.com
