I am doing pretty well, except for a neighbor of ours was rushed into the ER because he has a broken blood vessel in his head. I don't really know any other details at the moment.
this makes me cringe, because it's what happened to our son.

i'll pray. ♥

Violet, i missed you!

Thank you. We could get as many prayers as possible. He is a wonderful man that does have a relationship with Jesus, however he is not in the best of health as of now. This man is actually my sister's Father In Law and her and my brother in law were talking on Saturday it would be better off if he would just pass away. That is just so cold-hearted. My sister and her husband grew up in church and ever since they got married they refuse to be in church and get offended when someone mentions God or the bible

It's amazing how much you game can be off after just a couple of weeks away from. Several years ago when I was still rated around 1400 I worked with a kid that was 18 and we got to be sort of friends and discovered we both liked to play chess so we started playing together. I'll bet I must have played that kid a hundred games and never won a game, although I got close many times. My end game was just not strong enough to beat him. He was really good. He told me later that when he was 16 he was the top ranked player for his age class in the state of Texas. I guess that made me feel a little better. If I was to play that kid now he would beat me like I stole something.
Wow ... that kid was in an elite class. And yeah ... that would have made me feel better too knowing afterwards how good he actually was. There's always a rare few whose instincts for the game are beyond the norm. Being the top-ranked kid in the state of Texas at any age puts this kid in that class. Had to be fun playing him :). Might I ask or do you even remember what pawn opening he was partial to (when playing white) ... d2-d4 or e2-e4 ? Reason I ask is because back in the late 80's, early 90's, the e2-e4 (queen pawn) opening was very popular for a while around here with the younger players. I remember coming across it quite often and recall being somewhat surprised at how many of the younger players liked it. It's merits are still a topic of debate. Pretty cool stuff OH. Wished you lived closer :). Face to face chess is much preferable to over the net IMO :)

If memory serves he favored the e2-e4 opening as do I.

I'm not surprised OH :). For years (70's-80's), I was always far more comfortable with the d2-d4 opening myself but came to like the aggressive attack potential presented with the above. Castle king side pretty much always as well :)

I think it is a good defensive move too and I am much more of a defensive player. That is one reason my end game suffers.

Yup .. pretty difficult not to be defensive minded .. particularly during the beginning and mid game intervals. My brother was "defense only" minded throughout and always will be. We'd spend hours upon hours with me trying different attacks and him only defending. And back then, we never played on the clock. I'd fall asleep sometimes waiting for him to make his move (almost) .. lol But it was interesting. The e2-e4 opening always presented him with the more difficult challenge though. To him, it was a tad too unorthodox for his liking .. lol I think that's why I came to like it so much :cool:
