CHESS and BBQ !!!

I was working with one of my chess students
this afternoon, while I received a call about
a Chess Party....Hung up the phone and continued
to work on tactics with Melissa....Her game
is getting a lot stronger.....I am expecting
good results from her games...anyway, the
lesson ended and I went over to Ramiro's
for some Chess and chicken BBQ...
the food was good and the games were awesome.
The powerful "Torre Fuerte" chess team
was there - creating interesting positions
and working tactics and planning checkmates.
It was a great evening of chess....playing
chess under trees, enjoying the evening air.
we finished at night fall....Vive Torre Fuerte!!!
Vive Chess forever...

FRIDAYS: Chess @ the Mall

It was 5:00 p.m. as we entered Sunrise Mall.
We started to set the chess boards and began
to play Chess. Matthew Cohen challenge
Oziel Juarez to a match (game 15) while I
played a few games with Harry. Then Luis
Matus and John Beaudry arrived on the scene.
Luis' game has really improved his game, his
tactics are stronger and he is beginning to see
things and squares like a true chess player.
Jon Beaudry came in playing 1. b4! the Sokolsky
which he plays very well and a interesting
opening to learn. Every week we play different
openings to get into different tactical positions.
Paredes' little Sara Lin arrived with her parents
and little brother ate some a meal and then
started to play chess with me...She's a
pretty good chess player upon checkmate
we analyze for ideas to better play the middle
game. Lesson: Outpost Square and how a
knight posted on the center gives opponents
a hard time. Once posted there a win is near.
Adolfo Balderas, Gus Falcon, and Christian
Muraira came in and some interesting matches
got started. This strong group of chess players
kept playing until 9:45 as Jon and Gus agreed
to a DRAW...we walked out until next week
