Video 3 is up! This time around I take on the Ruy Lopez with the black pieces.
As we hit the half-way mark of my twelve-article series, and as a preface to one of the most important tournaments of my life, I decided to take a look back at the tournament that made me want to become a professional chess player back in 2001.
It’s that time of the week again! My second YouTube video is up, along with its companion video on the opening.

Article 5: A Rocky Road to Rome
Hey everyone! After spending so much time on the sidelines watching Greg Shahade and Daniel Rensch get all the glory, I decided it was time to step into the ring. I just finished recording the first of what I hope will be many YouTube videos. For now, the plan is to simply verbalize my thought process during some blitz games, but I’m sure other things will be popping up. I will try to put one out every week. Enjoy!
Another article has been posted! By now I think the theme of the series is starting to reveal itself. I decided to focus on what I consider my most formative years as a competitor (i.e. the most traumatic!) and chose tournaments that I consider major setbacks/turning points and the lessons that came with them.
