A Day In My Life On Chess.Com

And a very pleasant day it was too, I hasten to add...

I began the day on a rating of 1709. One loss, one draw, three wins and two hours later, I found myself on a rating of... 1709. I felt like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day.

Then I watched several games in the so-called "Death Match", and thoroughly enjoyed the experience - particularly the running commentaries by Dannie and Ben. I hope I've got their names right. These people are all new to me. Whatever, commentators and players put on a great show between them. Great stuff, Chess.com. Thanks!

Danny's commentaries are the best, he should comment on the world championship.

Awesome to hear that you're having such a great time on the site! :D

And another wonderful afternoon's entertainment yesterday. Excellent games, and great commentary by Danny and Lawrence.

That said, really not sure about the value of bullet chess. I enjoyed watching the 5-minute games much more, but each to their own, I suppose.
