My goal is to play 1000 thoughtful games of chess. After which time I expect to be an above average player. This blog is to document the journey.

Game 18: Win - 39 Turns

This was a game I played at chess.com against one of the admins there. It was the introductory game that he offered to play me since I was new to the site. He was a high ranked player who I suspect to be pretty good but he was always in the middle of about 1000 games. I think if he concentrated on our game more it would have affected the outcome.
