What's up?

I think chess can be more for everyone. It's been proven to improve memory and a lot of other mental performance. Also prevents Alzheimer.

Yeah, skype it up or something. And you can record a video of it.

I'm very competitive so once I started I really have this OCD thing of getting my rating up above 1900 before I at least give up on the site. If there are enough players with interest I could probably make some teaching videos on youtube to help everyone get better.

You have my style wrong. I am just a very slow thinker and like to analyze things out but you can't do that in shorter time control. I use to play slow tournaments in real life where you get 2 hours for 40 moves then 1 hour additional after that. It gives you a lot of time to devise a plan...

Oh you can watch people? Did you watch before or after I started blundering? I think I tried to put in way too many games yesterday.

I signed up for Chesscube - cvannak is my sn. I don't see where the chat feature would be but I played 3 cubit games. I don't like that your rating goes up so slowly when you're new.

You're right! I do lose focus pretty fast sometimes. We definitely should try chess cube for 15 minute games. I can play a best of 3 tomorrow.

We could try to play on another platform with more time next time and do some commentary and analysis for the board. It would help you get more aggressive. It might help me blunder less with more time too! =D

I definitely blunder a lot in 10 minute chess as you can see. You should try playing some long games like the 2 hour for 40 move tournaments. It will give you time to make up plans instead of just reacting.

Want to swap colors for another fast one? I'd like to see how you play black.

I think the way you approach chess is totally different from mine and I like that I have to come up with new thoughts. You play white more like someone plays black though. You try to solidify but as white you have the lead so you need to try create something.

I know they are but yours is pretty unorthodox for white, I'm not use to it at all.

I don't mind playing black. I'm not use to having to think about the opening moves so early on but you really challenge me with your different style in the opening. It's good practice for me.

yeah, 5 minutes is fine. that 10 minutes is brutal for a slow thinker like me

I always seem to blunder against you lol. You have time for 1 more?

Yeah, ready.

Yea, just post up the link when you're ready. I'll play at 8:30 your time.

Yea intense until Nd5 blunder lol. I'm 28.
