CA - I teach Geometry and AP Stats at the high school level. I stopped playing chess online a while back and decided to let Rybka kick my tail around the board. According to Rybka I'm 1420 on my best day and embarrassing most other days. I'm a big fan of:

The Scandinavian
2-Proportion hypothesis testing
Sacrifices I would NEVER see
Chicago Bears
Oakland Athletics
Lacrosse
Actually playing chess over a live board.

   Mar-20-11 S Nilsson vs N Djukic, 2011
 
eykca: ha, very nice endgame, the ol' bishop just ran out of squares. Great play by black.
 
   Feb-13-11 L Shamkovich vs M Zlotnikov, 1982
 
eykca: Wow, a couple pretty sacs in this one.
 
   Feb-11-11 G Zaitshik vs E Vladimirov, 1975
 
eykca: Black never really recovered from the destruction of his pawn structure due to the knight sac. As a patzer that sac made sense from the start, gotta start looking for stuff like that more in my games.

eykca: haha, this game was a blast. You do get the feeling somewhere a chess teacher is having stomach pains...
 
   Feb-09-11 Lasker vs H W Trenchard, 1890 (replies)
 
eykca: What a sharp, fun game to watch. As a patzer the continual king/queen proximity would have wreaked havoc on my nerves.
 
   Feb-02-11 Z Deur Saric vs S Jablonska, 2010
 
eykca: I wonder how much of this win can be chalked to the unorthodox response to 1. e4 aka the Scandinavian.
 
   Feb-02-11 I Odesskij vs P Skacelik, 2001 (replies)
 
eykca: Not my favorite game of all time but the opening for white was a bit novel and fun to watch.
 
   Jan-31-11 Bronstein vs Korchnoi, 1962 (replies)
 
eykca: I'm pretty sure I've had dreams, as a patzer, of playing a move like that and just waiting 2 or 3 moves down the road for my buddy to figure it out... ridiculous...
 
   Jan-31-11 T H Piper vs F S Ensor, 1883 (replies)
 
eykca: It seems everytime black needed a free move white had a closterfobic check with either the knight or queen. Very nice play between those two pieces.
 
   Jan-22-11 E Winslow vs K Shirazi, 1981 (replies)
 
eykca: A very nice sacrifice that doesn't seem to pay immediate dividends but rather a slow sequence of pawns here and exchange advantages there. Not a sac I could ever make work (i'm a noob) but certainly fun to watch.
