20 Days to get into fighting shape


I have around 20 days to play in the Herb Healy New Years Day tournament at the Boylston Chess Club. At this moment I am playing poorly so back to basic training for the next 20 days. I will post some of my games after the Holidays.

    Nezha,
    I would like to play a game at some point. I am often on playchess.com as takchess and just created an account as takchessguy on fics. Let me know what hours in Eastern Standard Time are good for you and we can set something up. Are you Nezha on fics?

    Right now its 12 noon here, and according to the site you gave me its now 10pm there. A 14 hour difference. Well, we could play on weekends i guess. Morning here, evening there.

    I did not saw you actually. I typed "finger takchessguy" to see your log timestamp. I was hoping to predict your next log based on that.
