If you have regular access to high-rated players, one would think you would have participated in rated events as a matter of course. In my experience, non-tournament results against rated players are often misleading because many players simply don't play at full competitive strength when they are "playing for fun" as opposed to "playing for lood". There is often considerable experimentation in openings and indulgence in risk-taking, which would never see the light of day with real rating oints at stake. Once upon a time, before I was rated, I played 6 consecutive games against an opponent rated 1590. We played "touch move", but there were no clocks, and we did all 6 games in one 5-hour sitting. Although I won 5 and lost , I knew my play was not at the 1800-1900 level suggested by the formulas. My play was not even up to its usual level of skill (or lack of same!), but y opponent simply played down to my level -- or perhaps a little lower.

Most recently, though, it has been weather-related problems. I've was flooded twice in the same week, and the high winds and lightning we had during that week caused me to turn my system off altogether. Please bear with me as I'm trying to get back to some semblance of my former rhythm. GAME 3 -- Bernardi-Moon: 1 e4 c5 2 Nf3 d6 3 d4 cxd4 4 Nxd4 Nf6 5 Nc3 a6 6 Bg5 Bd7 7 ...

CE> So I better have written that right. This whole writing thing amazes . Borrowing a paragraph from a message I wrote over a year ago: "Chess has an important advantage over `physical` sports in that each move can be diagrammed and debated to death, and every sequence duplicated exactly by anyone able to fathom notation, though they be separated from the original competitors by an ocean or by a century. Unlike other sports, chess can be described, analyzed, and debated in a completely literary format, and this unique quality is undoubtedly why there are more books written about chess than all other sports and hobbies combined. In addition, every time there has been a major advance in communication, chess is almost always one of the first recreational applications of the new technology. And, of course, the whole history of electronic computer development has a close relationship to chess as a research platform and s a testing ground.

If the Pawn moves straight forward, you need only indicate the end square of its move. In the event the Pawn is capturing, however, you need to nclude the file it is capturing from, plus the capturing symbol ("x"), THEN add the square the Pawn winds up on. Check out move 7 to see how it looks.
