Blog Collaboration and More

Hello everyone. I don't have a lot of time these days, but I do have friends and clubs. I am "active" but blogging is REALLY high time-consuming and it requires a lot of work. With school these days, I will be getting busy.

Many of you may know already, but @EnergeticHay has achieved Top Blogger status, mainly having followed my footsteps before (of course, I don't have all the credit ). We've met before and have been good friends ever since. Due to this, I am happy to say that @EnergeticHay and I will make our relationship as best as possible. We're doing a blog collaboration! Feel free to check out our previous content here:

Now that we've both become Top Blogger, I'm reposting one of my previous games against @EnergeticHay OTB. Some of you may have watched it: https://www.chess.com/blog/Chessdemon2019/crazy-tactical-game-vs-energetichay-friend-and-foe is the link.

Here was the game analysis:

Ok back to above, our blog collaboration is basically us helping each other improve our content. We're both busy, so helping each other out will just be one thing we do for each other. So we hope that our content stands out!


Alright, finally, I have some personal things to share.

I am a proud Canadian. I am one of the SAs in the Chess Federation of Canada. We used to only be Team Canada Live which participated in the Live Chess World League seasons. Now our club officially hosts Canada's official chess club. If you are Canadian, please ask to join by clicking here: https://www.chess.com/club/chess-federation-of-canada

By the way, if any mods are paying attention, is it possible to make this club official? I believe our club owner as messaged some of you.

Anyway, I believe I am the only Top Blogger that is an SA in their country's official club, so I took this time to share this with my fellow Canadians.


I still see some people messaging me about coaching. I am unable to accept students. So please stop PMing me about this.


Last but not least, I will start working on a Birthday Post, which will be posted on my birthday (I won't tell you when that is, yet). It will cover my whole chess career before the pandemic. So if any of you are interested in it, stay tuned, and maybe follow me until then!

Thanks for Reading!!

The Chess Maniac

Again, BIG thanks for @EnergeticHay. Please watch our game together if you are looking forward to our collaboration blogs!!!

 

Thanks for Coming! Feel free to read any of my blogs. The most popular ones will be on the top, split into many sections. I'm a big blogger, so I have many things for you to check out! All my blogs are high quality, otherwise I would've lost my Top Blogger status. So please check them out.
