I'm Back Into Chess!

Yes. I am once again completely thrilled with the game of chess. Just this last weekend, I got to go to a chess tournament. It was absolutely fantastic! Seeing so many other budding young chess players, I want to play chess now more than ever. We got first place as a team in the Open Chess Event that we entered. But we thank God for giving us minds to think and play this wonderful game. He gets the glory. Not us.

Thank you Lord,
David

Don't Resign

"Don't resign until your position is absolutely, definitely hopeless. Keep on fighting, never mind whether analysis can show that the situation is dismal. Don't cling to any sort of stereotyped dogma. Believe firmly that in chess there are no rules without exceptions."

~Reuben Fine, Grandmaster and Psychoanalyst (1914-93)

A Good Reminder

"Every chess master was once a beginner."

~Irving Chernev, Chess Writer (1900-81)

Greetings Friends and Chess Friends

Hello,
This is David and I wanted to share with you a little bit about what this blog is meant for. First off, is that I have cousins who enjoy playing chess. We play at Church, Birthday Parties, Gatherings, Reunions, you name it! We just love playing this game. So I thought that we could each share different things about it on this blog to help each other and anyone else who also happens to read along.

Yeah, to some of you, this is probably stupid or a waste of time etc... But to us, it's a fun game and we enjoy winning just as much as helping others to win. So take a look and enjoy. God Bless.
