Wow! I can't even remember when the last time was I sat down to write a little. Life just gets crazy sometimes. But tonight, in between dinner and getting called back to work, I did manage to get an amazingly fun game of chess in. It is interesting to think back on that game because, aside from winning against a tough opponent, I was pretty sure I wasn't going to be able to pull it off. Although it turned out to be the right plan, as I was letting my opponent eat up my queenside pawns, all I had was a plan. I didn't equate it to a real advantage, I guess you could call it more of a Hail Mary. Lucky for me, it worked. So I loved winning, but I can't wait to reach that next step of actually realizing how I did it. A solid, instead of speculative, plan is definitely what I prefer. Sorry, but no pictures tonight - even though there are a few good spots in the game for them. I guess I'm just lazy!
