The Winning Streak
Without this streak of wins I'd be looking for a new hobby. In fact I've found new hobbies with ease. I do not need chess any more than chess needs me. But I have found the game and it has found me. Winning is very important without the ability to win without this experience there is very little reason to pursue the activity at mind. Finally the San Francisco Giants have been put into the arena. Is this the beginning of a new dynasty? It is too early to tell. That this second time the Giants have won the World Series does show that the first win was not a fluke. Ronn Owens of a major radio station in San Francisco says it is too early to tell whether this is the beginning of a new dynasty. The truth has been spoken.

Proud Enough To Play Chess
I only won one game out of four but I gave it my all I figured for his profile I could give him a game I didn't want to be blown out like I did to my other opponent yesterday. It was like I fought a whole World War 11 by my lonesome self I lost the session for today but you should have seen what I did to my opponent. The preacher man was there for me and I felt his coaching put me on the right track I felt like I was in the drivers seat. Thanksgiving Day is coming up an American holiday. Mr. Leroy Votto if I can recall his name correctly was my history teacher in college the only class in which I got an A in on the college level transferable to the UC Berkeley institution. For this holiday or occasion I'm not going to comment. I've a few songs in my heart and my soul and one song in particular I thought I sang and recorded it on my digital recorder well and the recorder is an Olympus Vn7100.

Chess Is A Brutal Game
I never expected my opponent to exist so fast as he was a higher rated player and I was making moves as if I were a robot playing chess machine where I could do no wrong making moves never before rehearsed. No I don't have a recording of this game except from my memory and I can't do that but only describe what went down. You might think I'm playing at a professional level but no not hardly. I only write the story but the stories written by the professional chess players like the highest rated woman chess player give me inspiration although I have never met her in person. Like Susan Boyle the Internet singing sensation it may not at all be to late to play chess if Susan Boyle could do it in her singing career then why not in chess? Can the old timers do it or is this mere fully of the old with a yearn to recapture the glory days? Most of the chess players I play are younger but I don't know for sure since I never see their faces and they don't see mine. But I was cutting up my opponent so bad that he or she just cut and ran. We are competing for ratings but my last game was brutal for my opponent. I don't usually win like that in a blitzkrieg type fashion. I better get a hold on to myself.

Trapping an Opponents Queen For The Kill
I've done this a zillion times on my first chess playing computer and not a toy computer for children under twelve but it could calculate it cost about a hundred dollars and back then in the eighties that was not cheap. I practiced it the capture of the queen and got it down to a science and today online this is precisely what I did but sadly to say in the exchange I was only maybe ahead five points not enough to put my opponent away but the fact is that I trapped my opponent's queen which trumps a lost at least in my mind the memories of trapping was enough pleasure for me it offsets a lost as far as I'm concern my capabilities to win or a winning streak is not here yet but could well be in the making as this has been my pattern.
