Personal Notes

FM Jari Jarvenpaa (2273) and 36 years old from Tampere, Finland. I am in chessclub SalSK.

My best victories are from 2011 Heart of Finland and 2015 ECC in Skopje, Macedonia. 2011 I won GM Sulskis (2591) as black and started overal score 6/6 (3 GMs+1 IM), then only got a draw finishing 6,5/9 with first IM-norm. 2015 I won best finnish player GM Nyback (2601), with total score 4/7 and 2nd IM-norm.

I am trying different things in chess, because having totally firm conceptions doesn't help to improve. Understanding chess positions should be my strenght compared to IMs, because generally they don't impress me with their analysis or ideas. Often I lose good positions because of practical problems.

UPDATE 9th of Nov 2015: Now things are going well in chess with a bit of luck. Couple of wins from bad positions and new Fide rating record, around 2318.

Here what "zato", one of my student says: "I was used to play very much with almost only by intuition, but in NFork's training I learned to calculate more and analyse more concrete moves than only positional factors. I got some new ideas to French defence and tried to analyse my games without a computer.

Maybe the training worked quite well. My national rating increased 100 points within three months (1900 ----> 2000)."
