Gamblers split tens

Less than an hour ago, a teenager tried to ruin my afternoon. The question is, did I let her stupidity win, or did I overcome? Meghan worked this morning, so Harrison and I took a boys trip to Doylestown. We walked around, got coffee at Starbucks, picked up my running...

This isn't a story about Chess. It's a story about REDEMPTION. 6 weeks ago I EMBARRASSED myself by admitting that I had an addiction problem. Not to something cool like drinking, or gambling, or cigs, or drugs. No. Instead, I was addicted to blitz chess. In this post,...

For the next 27 days I'll be in Philadelphia for about 9 of them. This weather has been god awful so it's a nice time to get out. Traveling is nice because your world goes on without you. It's in the back of your head that you're important but the world finds...
