BALLYNAFEIGH ANGELS V MALONE

The result of tonight`s match was Ballynafeigh 4 Malone 0 with one game to be adjudicated.


This result was initially reported as 4 1, it was  a mistake on my behalf, it has now been corrected.  Some of the board orders are wrong too, I will correct them later. My team captain has just phoned me to put things in order!

E2E4 CHESS

Martin Kelly was talking about his lately. Now Chessbase has publicized the enterprise and highlighted the E2E4 website. Looks like there is lots of interesting tournaments.


It means N.Ireland players can obtain a FIDE grading without being members of FIDE lol lol lol lol.


Does not help me much as I do not play on Sundays, which means I am 2 games down right away! Still, a few days in London or Dublin with cheap accomodation may be nice!

CHESS KING

Just downloaded and installed this programme after reading about it on Alexandra Kosteniuk`s site. 


There was no problems with the download or install.  A Facebook page is available.  It will take me a few days to get used to this new game.

YOU GET MURDERED IN YOUR BED?

Andrew Martin seems to use a Shipyard type of black humour in this DVD tutorial when describing the need for quick development.  


The consequences of not doing so could lead you,  "to be murdered in your bed!"

He is looking at this opening.  I have this book on it.

This describes the basic premise for all profitable education and learning.

A PROVIDENTIAL RESPITE

Fortunately for me there are no games scheduled at the moment.  


I have been driven up the walls with repair work taking place around my house. 


This video clip was taken on Sunday when the work was left off. Hopefully it is finished today. A very careful study of providence shows timing is everything!

It is difficult to study or concentrate with all the racket going on.
