Practice games

Just practice games against my softwares:

Kasparov's chessmate
Chessmaster 9000
Chessmaster Grandmaster
Deep Shredder 11

12 games, limited strength for the softwares

Average elo of chess software/s: 1705
Expected points: 3.32 (based from 1500 elo)
Result: 6 wins, 3 draws, 3 losses (against Shredder and CMXI 2107 personality)
Total of 7.5/12

delta - 104.40

new elo "rating" is 1604. My "performance elo" is 1805. I have to translate this to good OTB games

(The elo is based on CMXI initially. Now, I am playing many softwares so I am trying to track my playing strength. If I am good enough by June - say, consistent performance of 2000+, I will compete in the Regional open at Tagaytay city. That is, if I will be allowed. hehehe. I mean, it may be for youngsters only. Or for rated players only. Anyways. If there is a will, there is a way. At least I should find good enough tournaments to join.)

I learned chess at 4. Never became serious at it. I began playing seriously (sans otb tournaments) last October 2008. I just thought of playing it again. I started at around 1250-1300.

Goals:
1700 by March
1800 by May
1850 by July
1900 by September
1950 by November
2000 by January 2010

Within the year, participate in a FIDE-sanctioned tournament
Next year, participate in at least 3 tournaments while pushing elo to at least 2200
Tall order, but if I put my mind to it, I know I can. I remember teaching myself to play guitar, piano, write songs. With the help of Fritz, Shredder, Chessmaster, and tons of Fritz engine kibitzers, starting from Rybka and Twisted Logic (nationalistic choice). Hehehe...

9th Annual Hungarian Kindergarten Championship in Budapest

Imagine these kids growing up to be the next chess masters of Hungary. While our kids here are busy playing holens, 10-20 and what-have-you on the streets. While our kids are busy watching about the latest showbiz gossips and recent happenings on Alabang boys, PEDEA vs DOJ, and senate coups.

Teach the children

http://www.thedurhamnews.com/class_time/story/182508.html

This is how chess is being taught abroad. Well, the story above depicts Craig Jones, the trainer shown here, as being disappointed about his team's early exit in a recent chess playoffs. He said that there are lots of enthusiasm about chess now among the young in America. There is plenty of demand, but few supply of teachers to teach. Whew. If only I can increase my proficiency in chess to at least 2000 level. It's good to do something like this here in the Philippines.

The young people can learn chess better. Look at Wesley So and Paragua now. Wesley is ranked among the world's top chess players in the under-20 category at 2627 elo. We hope that he will breach the 2700 level with his stint in the 71st Corus this coming January 16 - February 1 in Wijk aan Zee. This will be the 71st Corus Chess Tournament and will again be divided into A, B, C, and amateur groups. He belongs in group C.

"Internet and online games are increasing interest in chess. Jones says he first went online to play chess in 1992. Sometimes he waited two hours to find a match. On a recent Friday night at one online site there were 7,000 matches in progress."
