I received my first draw in playing Correspondence Chess. It's a thrill taking it as I played someone that was close to 300 points my senior. It was a good learning experience, and showed that when there is a will there is a way to get out of a losing position.
On other news Bobby Fischer passed away over the weekend. Died at the age of 64. With respect to how he changed the scope of chess he will not be a favored person I look up too. The reason behind this thought of mine is that he is anti-semitic, and probably anti american as well with regard to his statements following 9/11.
But I do wish that he rest in piece and that the good Lord forgives all of what he has said and done outside of the chess world.
