Dude won't resign when I have a rook to knight advantage in endgame. It's a 2 day time limit, so I'm guessing he's hoping this takes close to a month to finish so I might lose on time. I may be overanalyzing this, but this game has become a priority now.

sometimes the tactics trainer is designed around the computer making bad moves 2-3 moves into this solution you're supposed to guess at. Drives me nuts.

Also, I'd like to thank td/housh for kicking my ass a bunch. I went from an 1150-1200 player to 1300-1350 player.

still kicking myself 12 hours later after considering and then passing on a move that would have quite possibly won me the game, and then subsequently losing

if it was half the time wouldn't the wins and losses be the same?

I'm terrible. I don't have the patience. I always want to trade pieces and get the game over with.

what do you guys thinking of trading queens just to blow up the other guys castling?

makes a game boring right off the bat but you gotta take any advantage, right

eh. It's something I do against people I know aren't very good (blowing up their ability to castle in general is a strategy I employ)

The PMA Chess Club recently spoke with a local Chess Master who is willing to come to our next meeting on Thursday, 2/21from 5:15 – 7:00 PM in the Student Lunchroom. We are looking for those who would like to learn from a professional how to play the game. We are also inviting those who already play chess to attend and learn how to improve your skills and focus your strategy.

played a master at chess club yesterday and didn't get totally smoked. I'll take it!

the dude, don't think I've read those. don't get around to reading too much in general but the one I've liked most so far is How To Improve Your Chess by Horowitz and Reinfeld
