Game Of The Year XII

All Things Chess
1

Greetings,

My chess blogging season has come to an end for 2015. Thanks to all my readers for spending this time together!

I got a new phone: 719-459-9612

As soon as I get my contacts moved over to the new phone, I will be texting the club reminders from that number.

The final issue looks back on my results for the year, thanks all the players who put up with me as a new TD, goes over my favorite game of the year, and gives you a ton of PGNs from the Pikes Peak Open you can copy and paste into your chess engines.

Also, the USCF sent me some reminders about the Colorado Open and the DCC Fall Classic:
