Hi, Dan from NY.....46, wife, 2 kids, mortgage.....the full catastrophe :) (with apologies to Zorba
how can I see so much and play this well? How can I see so little and play this poorly? Chess is an amazing self barometer, innit?
play 3 0 almost exclusively now. Can't stand the pain of a bad position for very long......
To me, chess is a game of humility. No matter how good you THINK you are, somebody out there can make you look like a fool at the chessboard. SO, be humble and have fun!!!
