It is a slow day today. The chess game was slow the ratings just fair to mediocre and the new pictures didn't get published. My car is still in the shop and who knows what and when if I will get my car back after so many days of trying to check engine lights and $1300 worth of repairs with more to come and the car was running like new and on and on where we stop nobody knows I think I am punch drunk chess isn't on my mind yet I'm writing in my chess blog. Yet this is indeed a candid story of the times and life of a recreational chess player with of course no fame in sight. I never thought that it would be published but when I'm in a slump negativity makes the mark I'm sorry to say. On line chess isn't for the faint of heart there are mental games of sheer skill required and many skilled players just ready to take a poor unsuspecting soul down and trounce the living dickens into dust and yes I'm way past my prime age wise to think seriously of tournament chess a man simply has to know his .....no I'm not going to say it I'll let old Clint Eastwood say it this is chess not the shoot em up Dirty Harry movies. The new pictures coming in take the edge off the need to win every game played or dire consequences I thank the last chess blog man who commented on my blog he sounds like a team player in my arena. Adding images or pictures to this blog will get me past the negativity of the games I have not won because you see I hated losing but can absorb these loses as lessons if it makes any sense to you my dear reader.
