502 Server Error - We will look into it.

Greatest excitement in chess today.

Ranked up by 57  points to 1109 the reset in the learning training mode.

Winning percentage dropped a bit to 79.86% 119/149 won/lost

My high is actually 1394, shooting for my personal best.

Yeah I zeroed out this mode & am rebuilding. I had gotten

frustrated with chess. I had only been into chess for about 6 months.

Let's see how I do starting over. 

Say I hear Victor Korchnoi is the greatest  over 70 chessplayer of all time

(who never became world champion?)

also wrote a book called: My Best Games by  Victor Korchnoi

What is the best book written on chess?

My 60 memorable games by Bobby Fischer ?

Another possible good read or two  about strategy

would be:

   1) My System written by Aaron Nimzovich in 1925 

2) The art of attack in Chess by Vladimir Vukovic

The source of these recommendations is Patrick Wolff who also suggests:

For Chess openings & improving this part of chess:

Nunn's Chess Openings by Joe Gallagher & John Emms

Modern Chess Openings by Nick Defirmian

Chess Endings Essential Knowledge by Yuri Averbakh

Essential  Chess endings  Explained move by move. v1 by Jeremy silman

Practical chess endings by Paul Keres 

Excitement never ends, Server error 502 for the 2nd time today !

Chess has many parallels to life, perhaps it is a learning tool for life. I don't know if chess will save the world of all it's problems, it tests  a player in different ways. It can be frustrating at times. Above all  it should be a game for people around the world to develop friendships & something to enjoy but to not take too seriously. Wishing everyone well who plays this for fun or professionally,  Jan. 22, 2020
