King of the Spill. One chess player's journey from? Saturday, December 30, 2006. Which Tactic is This? Problem 540 from 1001 Brilliant Ways to Checkmate. 2k1q3/p2r1p2/P7/Q6B/8/Kp2r3/8/6R1 w - - 0 1. Note: if you want to solve this checkmate problem first, better stop reading now! I was stuck on this one for awhile and still did not get it right. The two easier variations are 1.Rc1 Rc7? After 1.Rc1 Kb8 2.Qb4 Ka8 3.Bf3! I am now beginning to think I left something out of my Simultaneous Advantage. Removing...

chess and choir: Victory!
http://koorpret.blogspot.com/2005/06/victory.html
Friday, June 03, 2005. Tonight I've finished my 7 circles. 1680 problems in 83 days. Now I can sleep again on decent times, do something in the house, feed my pets and husband with home coocked meals, do some trout fishing, see the sun again, (is it still hanging there? Hang out with my choir friends and have a beer after singing, instead of running home to do my circles. I think I have family somewhere, I hope they did not forget me. I feel like a chess-junk, I do even dream of chess positions. King of ...

King of the Spill: Circle 2 Complete
http://kingofthespill.blogspot.com/2006/12/circle-2-complete.html
King of the Spill. One chess player's journey from? Wednesday, December 27, 2006. I am beginning to wonder about these problems. Although they highlight my weak areas, some of the themes are obscure. For instance, how many opportunities do beginning/intermediate players have to use a double sacrifice? That theme is a bit of a mind-bender. Posted at 8:09 PM. Click to see this post's 1 comment(s). We are starting to wonder about these issues. Runescape Gold. That will theme is a bit of your mind-bender.

King of the Spill: Circling Around Again
http://kingofthespill.blogspot.com/2006/12/years-after-i-began-it-i-am-approaching.html
King of the Spill. One chess player's journey from? Sunday, December 17, 2006. Years after I began it, I am approaching problem 800 in 1001 Better Ways to Checkmate. I missed a mate in two and took five minutes to see a mate in one. I am consistently going for longer mates or missing crisscross attacks completely. On a more upbeat note it is good to see so many interesting posts on other chess blogs including new Knights - I will add your links soon. Http:/ www.cartier4us.com/. More Down Than Up.

These songs make me glad that music even exists. Incorporates symphonic elements of strings, trumpets, etc. with heavy metal. It is a 24 minute long piece with 7 movements that recount the classic tale of Homer's, The Odyssey. The next incredible piece is called. Posted by Viking Sword at 11:09 PM.

chess and choir: People you meet at chess tournaments
http://koorpret.blogspot.com/2005/05/people-you-meet-at-chess-tournaments.html
Thursday, May 26, 2005. People you meet at chess tournaments. What I like most at chess tournaments is to see such a diversion of people. People of all ages. My oldest opponent who beated me was 90, and the youngest was an 8 year old boy. Beware of such children! During the game they look totally uninterested, while drinking their lemonade, and when they move they never seem to think about it. You allways loose on time with them. And if you have won from them or not, after 1 game they remain friends.

chess and choir: October 2007
http://koorpret.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 07, 2007. Who is Princess Errant. For the new ones in the Knights blogosphere, I became a chess player in 2000. To learn the rules etc. Tempo advised me to do Tasc, which I did. When we discovered La Maza method, we allso discovered The Knights,a bunch of fanatic patzers. My favourit opening is the Kings Gambit with white, and Islandic Scandinavian with black. I'm allways happy when my opponent coöperates to get those positions on the board. The absolute top for us is CORUS tournament....

Monday, September 17, 2007. Preparing for the battle. Well, my fellow knights, Margriet is back. I never left my chessclub ofcourse but the improvement goes slow. In february there is The tournament, so from now on I am going to train again. This time I use PCT. so it is nice to compare our progress, and exchange our experiences with you, my brother knights. Great to see a new post. I was starting to get sick of just seeing new ads at your last post :). Pray, tell us a tidbit if thou will:. Man De La Maza.

chess and choir: February 2005
http://koorpret.blogspot.com/2005_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 20, 2005. Ladies in Chessland (part two). Sorry, I accidently deleted part 1). At my chessclub I'm the only woman. No problem, everybody behave as knights to me. After the games we drink a beer or four and play blitz, and conversations are all about how refined we beated our opponent. Fun. When we play with other clubs we have sometimes to go to villages where they live with medieval standards. Mother stays home knitting and father has his weekly chess evening amongst other man. In games...
