Chronicles of a Late-Blooming Child Prodigy

I'm an unrelenting aficionado of Chess, Toastmasters and acoustic music (Celtic and Bluegrass--Turquoisegrass?). Audio and Video Blogging gives my visitors a chance to hear and see my triumvirate of interests in action. Cheers! --GT

My recurring illusions of grandeur: (1) winning a state-level chess tournament, (2) winning the World Championship of Public Speaking, and (3) playing Flight of the Bumblebee on the guitar at the Annual Flatpicking Championship in Winfield, Kansas. Until then, I'll relish all three pursuits with the enthusiasm and fearlessness of a late-blooming child prodigy. :)

Chess Publisher: Tolle v. Kirpekar 1 Mar 07

This game is the NPS Chess Club debut of my new DGT Tourmanent Set. Fellow NPS student Ulhas Kirpekar sat down at my computerized setup and gave me a run for my money through move 25. Fritz 10 (dynamically rating the game as we played on the DGT board) registered an advantage for me at that point, namely, the opportunity to pin his rook to his king.

Being a restless blogger, I searched the net for a convenient way to display the game here on Blogspot (I will post significant wins AND losses here, lest this degenerate into unwarranted chest-thumping), and found a nifty blog-friendly Portable Game Notation (PGN) publisher called "Chess Publisher." The two best things about it are (1) it works and (2) it's free! Here is the game, complete with diagram:




Many thanks to my friend Ulhas for the game, and to the author of Chess Publisher!

Pawnster--you're right! That would have been devastating. I'll have to work on my "Swindle, Pitfall, Trap" recognition. Thanks--GT

Thanks for using chess publisher. The real author is Robert Ambalang from Australia. All I did was make it easier to cut and paste the code to almost any blog website like blogspot.
