Only Chess
07 Apr 12
So I've had some personal ish happen in my life and my chess game has really suffered lately. It's very hard to calculate with a lot of stuff on your mind. I decided to take a two week break from chess and chess study and just goof around and play poker until I get my head clear. In the KG thread I said that I recently played one of the best games of my life as black against the gamibt, and here I submit it for your approval.
I had a 2200 performance in this tournament. Afterwards, my personal life went to hell and I lost a couple games to some 1300s! I have subsequently resigned all my games I've got going and hope to get my chess sanity back soon somehow.
