Chess :).. Im alright....i'm a good challenge if you guys want.. i dont play online though... although.. www.yahoo.ca has online chess,, i can play there. just ask :)
Were you the one who won the U1600? Do you have a pgn of your games?
I tried signing up for FICS, but they wouldn't accept any email I would give them. I still play on chess21.com though, so far without any problems.
Yes, I was the U1600 winner. I sat on a 1531 rating (obtained from my first few years of chess play) for 7 years (while continuing to study and improve) waiting for a tourney with prizes this size. Now I'm very glad I did that :)
PGN with annotations and analysis should be finished today. PM me your email address and I will send you it if you like. If more people here are interested, I'll put it up on a webpage somewhere instead.
Also, I'm an administrator at FICS, so I can set you up with a FICS account if you PM me your desired handle, email address, and real name (if you don't want to give out your real name, that's OK, but I must put something in the "real name" field, even if it's a fake name). My handle on FICS is "toddmf".
Todd:
Very strong to reach a rating of more than 1500 in the age of 7, respect. This is just my current online-rating in www.gamecolony.com at age of 21 :-(
I'm also interested in your PGN. My E-Mail is saturn-@hotmail.com

I feel relieved now :-)
For me Alekhine is the greatest Chessplayer of all time. I liked his very sharp attacking games and he is also the only World Champion who hold this title until his death.
Sorry, folks. I forgot to check this board during the last week or so. Deviance and Saturn: I've sent you the games.
About my rating: Yes, ybbun has it right. Sometimes I write unnecessarily long and complicated sentences. What I meant was this:
I had a 1531 rating at age 17. I then stopped playing in tournaments. 7 years have passed since then. In the meantime, I kept improving.
Unfortunately, the organizers of big money tournaments were watching me, and now I will have a rating floor of 2000. I was hoping I'd be able to win a nice prize at an under 1800 and maybe even an under 2000 tourney as well.
So, basically: Age 17: 1531. Age 24: 2000+
Hopefully that is simpler to understand and a bit less impressive :)
There is a very wide range of talent in this game.
Some people, at age 8, after less than one year of experience, are better than some 40-year-old adults who have been playing their whole lives.
And sometimes Kamsky, with 10 years of rust and woefully short on opening preparation, inexplicably crushes Anand, and chalks up a win amidst a sea of bitter and disappointing defeats at the hands of lesser players.
