sallom89 Member since Nov-04-07 · Last seen Nov-21-09 for <brankat> lol, i am currently 19 years old (born at 14/2/1989) & and learned chess at age of 7-8 but stopped for a while till 17 i began take it more serious. I really like to remember the days where i got CHESS in to our school and get the teachers also to play it, one teacher was strong, i kept learning from my mistake and got better. In Kuwait chess is not an important game or something most people know how to play, lets say around 1% ? so it doesn't get a lot of attention or support. Players here got experience by playing online,like me which is not so good i suppose...analyzing a game with your opponent is always beneficial. Favorite puzzles! White to play: click for larger view there is only one solution for this puzzle and it is really nice! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ White to play: click for larger view mate in 4(most reasonable solution) or 5. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ click for larger view white to play and crush(!)

ILL be playing only 5 minute and 15 minute game from now on. Bullet is so addictive and drive you crazy. Mar-15-09    sallom89: congratulations, bullet is insane & attractive..to stop playing it must be hard for someone like you ;p Mar-16-09    timhortons: im playing 5 minute now, i dont know if i can improve in 1200 icc 5 minute time pool but ill try my best to climb up even just a hundred. Im 1400 at playchess.com blitz time pool. Playchess.com has no different time pool for 3 minte, 5 minute and 15 minute pool, they were all classified under blitz game, but among the 3 the 5 minute is the most difficult of all, even top GM could not crack a high elo rating at 5 minute pool. Mar-16-09    sallom89: usually GMs play 3+4 on playchess I think, and its alot of fun. Raffael plays that time control, not sure though.
