BC Chess

I take back what I said about the Battle Creek Barnes & Noble chess guys... Years ago, there was Jim and then there was me ...for the most part as far as competition goes.

That was discussed last night at the club. I like the attitudes there. Most guys want a shot at the strongest players instead of settling in to a game expecting to lose, now. And they let it be known they're gunning for you, too. lol My opponent wrote the moves down. I was just slightly better in the game and I got a copy & here's the end analysis -
