Young Fischer



Absolutely brilliant. Bobby Fischer is 13 years old and plays with such precision. It makes me want to be better. I've been studying games and moves all day. Hopefully I'll continue to do so and one day take a stab at being someone in the chess world.

That pawn



This player was well beyond my rank. I'm not even a true 1158. I spent too much time contemplating a few of my moves. When the game ended in a draw I only had 40 seconds left to his 13 minutes. I'm not sure if he noticed that because he provoked a draw. I began this game right after watching the movie "Searching For Bobby Fischer." I felt like it was my duty to play well and I did. I want to start getting more serious about chess. This is a little piece of motivation for me. There was a pawn I wanted to take in this game but I wasn't sure if it was the right move. g3 was the move I made. I wanted to protect his queen from coming in.
