Be careful big guy, you keep wiping that board staring at those 64 squares and you may well see in them the image of the Squirrel Lover staring back at you...MWUAHAHAHAA!

For the record vaknso taught me a lesson in chess recently. He teased me into an endgame and then took me out big stylee with a rampaging king. Not sure which game it was...but it was definitely one of the last 25 hundred or so that we've played 😉
Happy New Year John 🙂
John has been leathal recently!
In one of our games (one of the two or three) he had a position where he could had made a mate in the next move, two different possibilities (from h8 or d8), but I succeeded to keep him distracted long enough!
His playing level has increased a lot recently!
And he is starting to beat me in every other game!
Watch out for the KING VAKNSO in 2003!
Sincerely,
Harri

In our latest game he's got some kind of Maroczy Bind thing going on...I don't like it one bit. I'm not happy I can tell ya!
Harri, fancy a game when you get back on Friday? I'm still reeling from the fun of our blitzed 5 games in one night recently!!!
Mark
PS. You heard it here first folks. Harri is a 5 times a night man 😉

As I told you in our games. You have shown me that playing more aggressive is where I need to go with my games. I'm been way too passive.

Happy New Year Mark and all you chess players.

Originally posted by kirksey957Mark won't get beyond e4. It's not looking good. I'm almost sure that the board is for display purposes. I've realised that the pieces have been in the same positions for about 2 months now. Either there's some fairly hardcore analysis going on or it's there to look pretty.
Mark (T1000) will get beyond "e4", and finally, the site will just get better and better. 😉 Kirk
Oh well, would have been quite cool if it had worked, but not to worry.

PS Goodness, the importance of punctuation! That comma after the word 'finally' is kinda crucial to the sentence's meaning! omitting it would have been rather critical and dismissive of everything that's already been done!

Anyone have any?
More to the point, does anyone successfully stick to theirs?
Reach a rating of 1500 by the end of the year (and stay there) through a lot of study 😞 and also analysis of games (hopefully ongoing ones! :p).
Be more confident and relaxed (through meditation and self-affirmations).
Work on improving the planning and development of my English lessons, especially student tasks.
Swim 2km non-stop (I usually take short breaks 🙂 )
Learn 1,000 kanji (Chinese characters) a formidable task for which I will need the help of a formidable Japanese teacher 😳 .
Be a good dad😀😀 .
Find joy in small things (something I have forgotten to do lately)
I usually forget my reolutions but not this year. Gonna post them in a prominent place as a reminder.
