Revenge
Some of you may remember me discussing comments made by someone at my club to the effect that I will never improve.
Well, I was able to exact some revenge yesterday by beating this person in a rated OTB game. It's only the 2nd non-blitz victory I've had over him. I will post the game later (although it's an embarrassing, blunder-filled game for both people). I won ugly, but I still won.

Good for you!
Here's a truism of my own invention:
Wisdom is not necessarily a function of age. There are plenty of old fools running around. . .
The next time some aged veteran who has pretenses of wizened sensibilites spouts his pithy nuggets of sage soundness, rememebr what I told you. . .
[grin]
What he meant is that he himself will not improve. And since he doesn't like to be left behind he projects that on you.
Hee hee! Go get im CD.
PS
A win is a win. I distain cocky players.
What was also funny, is I was playing on Board 2 next to the top players in the club on Board 1. One of those two playing is just a few points shy of achieving Class A. He happened to glance over when I captured my opp's queen with my bishop and snickered.
Rock 'em CD! Winning in those situations is most sweet.
