Guerrilla Chess Club
Set up a sign in sheet at the chess club for players interested in meeting at a coffee shop, restaurant etc for some chess with a side order of trash talk. Figured it might be a good way to promote the club.

Chess.com acting flaky
I noticed on my cell phone that when trying to review a game, whether mine or someone else’s, the screen flashes from one screen to another and eventually gives me an error message. When on my iPad it seems to work better but I’m still curious as to what is happening. Any ideas?

@Justin Davito It’s not a great loss for me since I found when I play online my mind shifts to Space Invaders mode and I play too fast without much thought. I try to limit myself to rapid but hard to find anyone on Chess.com who plays anything but blitz and faster. Lichess seems better but then again I usually play too fast. I don’t know why but in my mind if it’s on a screen it will make a move whether I make one or not. I know better cognitively but the autism is strong with this one.

@Justin Davito I was looking into an Eboard mainly for the game recording features but the last tournament I was at we set up our boards and played different locations on other peoples boards so some of the games recorded wouldn’t even be mine. For this reason I am considering a Chessnoter device. It’s cheaper and since it is in place of a notebook I bring it with me so I record my games for future analysis. I have an app on my phone but that wouldn’t be allowed at tournaments. I noticed trying to record with pencil and paper usually ends up with me missing moves or somehow messing up the notation. It’s weird. Starting out I thought to myself, “Chess. Now there’s an inexpensive hobby.” If I only knew.
Heading for the ACM TITLE
I went undefeated (In Rapid) in earning the rating on World Chess. Now the journey begins to earn the Fide ACM title!
