Started playing chess more seriously a few years ago via correspondence and have improved a lot since then. Although I've also come to learn how truly patzer-ish I am compared to many others on this site and elsewhere. These days most of my playing experience comes from blitz, over-the-board against "club" buddies and some online play. I still play some correspondence, but have grown increasingly less patient with it.
Most of my kibitzes here are from long ago, back when I had less familiarity with the game than I do now. In hindsight, many of them were dumb and ill-thought out. Since I can't delete them, I encourage anyone who comes across such comments to ignore them if they sound ridiculous.

Currently unrated since I haven't yet played in any tournaments (maybe some day, although USCF sucks), but I'd approximate my general playing strength to be somewhere in the 1400-1700 elo range.

May-16-13 J D Tisdall vs Sax, 1977

iamdeafzed: 30.Kh2,Qe5+ 31.Qg3,Qh5+ 32.Kg1,Bxc4! (now threatening Rd1#) I believe that line explains the resignation by white.

Apr-17-13 Aronian vs Ivanchuk, 2013

iamdeafzed: <It seems the only thing holding back the Budapest Gambit at the elite level is the absence of a top practitioner.> In his book 'Understanding Chess Move by Move', John Nunn annotates a particular game where the Budapest Gambit was used (I forget the players and the year ...

Apr-11-13 E Friedman vs Dzindzichashvili, 1991

iamdeafzed: 24...Bxg2!! Now if 25.Kxg2, then 25...Nh4+ 26.Kh1/Kh3,Nf3 attacking white's queen and threatening Qxh2+, against which there appears to be no adequate defense.

Apr-09-13 I Malakhov vs M Kravtsiv, 2012

iamdeafzed: 30.Kh1??/Kh2??,Qh4# 30.Kxf2,Rxf5+ 31.Qxf5,Qxf5+ 30.Kf1,Qxg6 31.fxg6,Bxe1+ 32.Kxe1,Rf6

Apr-09-13 N Georgiadis vs Rozentalis, 2013

Apr-02-13 Sax vs Dzindzichashvili, 1978

iamdeafzed: Interesting game.

iamdeafzed: Nice endgame play by the Rome-meister.

Mar-11-13 Dzindzichashvili vs E Haag, 1969
