Andres Hortillosa

Baniel and Drake settled the game peacefully in just ten moves. Both are assured of spots in the team with three rounds left to go. A tense game developed between Duke and King. Both are new to All-Army Chess and instead of halving the point early, both decided to fight for the point. This strategy benefits one and hurts the other. Veteran players over time have adopted a strategy, borne out of experience, guaranteeing a spot in the top six. The strategy involves playing to draw against equal or stronger opposition and play to win against weaker opponents.

Chess Quotes

When you see a good move, look for a better one.

Help your pieces so they can help you.
Paul Morphy

Siegbert Tarrasch
The biggest problem I see among people who want to excel in chess – and in business and in life in general – is not trusting their instincts enough.

I spend hours playing chess because I find it so much fun. The day it stops being fun is the day I give up.
