Wonder how many future masters are in this group?
In one of my ICCF games, I currently have a mate in 86 in the Lomonosov tablebase. #gonnatakeawhile
Today's my daughter's scholastic regional chess tourney. She's the only girl, and nervous :) She'll do great, though!
After a year of ICCF play, just got notification for my first Master-level promotion tournament. Milestones!
With a shared victory in a "higher" class event, I now qualify for a Master-level tournament. My avg. opponent rating will rise drastically.
I've completed 50 games in that year, score of 39/50. (+29=20-1). Average opponent rating of 1889.
The most advanced goal I set out when I started is a title. Still have a long ways to go, but the first year has been great.
After almost exactly one year on ICCF, just reached my second goal: A forecast rating over 2100.
Found out my daughter made her elementary school's regional chess team! She's the only girl, and only sub-5th grader on the team! Woohoo!
My ICCF World Cup opening breakdown: 6 Sicilians, 1 Slav, 1 French, 4 too early to tell.
ICCF World Cup 20 pairings are out. Feel like I'm in a tough bracket. 8 of 12 opponents rated higher than me. Opportunity abounds!
Does video of the #fwcm2013 opening ceremony exist on the net anywhere? Youtube? Livestream?
@MarconiRalph 40 years. I have a hard enough time imagining that, let alone 75. That's some impressive dedication.
@MarconiRalph Yeah... looks like you're having a rough tourney. And you've been at this a while. I'm certainly still figuring out the ropes.
@MarconiRalph You're welcome. Thanks for following me!
@MarconiRalph Cool. Good to have contacts in high places :) My ICCF ID is 515420. Started playing in March, I believe.
@MarconiRalph Thanks for that, Ralph. I'll be sure to look it up. As it is, my opponent finally offered a draw on move 107 (or so).
My (forecast) ICCF rating is now higher than the current year. I intend to keep it that way.
Currently trudging through an ICCF game on move 103 that's been a tablebase draw for the last 31 moves. Guy's refused the draw offer.
