Staying In Shape

Hibernating indoors all winter long doesn't cut it for the avid chess player. The greatest legend ever in chess Bobby Fischer remarked how he plays tennis to stay in shape whereupon Dick Cavett interviewing him notice Bobby Fischer must spend an incredible amount of time sitting down playing chess. It was another high level ranking player I had met on the tennis court by the name of Walter Browne the chess player and hall of fame, grand master champion also staying in shape on the tennis courts. No it wasn't his tennis game I had asked him about it was his chess game. Anyhow to make a long story short today I managed to crush a 1326 rated player as he advanced into my turf as they usually like to do to attack my defenses. The Chinese of China must have had a good ideal when they put up the Great Wall Of China. Today's game was kind of like an exhibition game nothing to get nervous about no one lost their ratings just maybe a little ego bruising. Regardless playing for ratings or not I can and do get real nervous at times it is the nature of the game.
