A Lifetime's Journey

This blog will chronicle my growth and improvement as a chess player.  I will detail the steps I take to improve.

I have never played in any official event.  So I have no official rating.  I do play on ICC, and I will provide you those ratings as they currently stand to give you an idea of where I am at in this journey.

15-minute games = 1450
5-minute games = 1075
1-minute games = 800

When playing over a board, I can easily defeat most casual players I encounter.  Recently, there have been a few exceptions.  I made a friend in the last year who is an expert level player (rated between 2000 and 2200).  He has provided me the inspiration to improve -> probably because I don't like to be beaten so badly!

The journey of improvement begins now!
