Game Of The Week
This week’s game comes from Jeff Fox [uschess.org/msa/MbrDtlTnmtHst.php?12641996]. He is a long-time chess player and a 2-time city chess champion of Colorado Springs. He doesn’t play nearly as often as Dean Brown does (cschess.webs.com/apps/blog/entri … lunder-win), but our ratings have stayed so close together that we are possibly the most common chess matchup in the Springs since 1998. Currently, we have played 84 rated chess games against each other, with myself having a slight edge (43.0 - 41.0).
However, I still haven’t figured out how to beat him. Well, unless you count playing the clock.
In 2003, we met in a fundraiser tournament. The fundraiser event is designed to help raise funds for Colorado’s best scholastic player to travel to the Nationals. This year’s version will be held on April 13th (colorado-chess.com/newtourn.shtml#773).
Jeff was a high class A player before taking a break from chess. He restarted about the time I picked up chess in 1998. He was nice enough to come down to my level as I was learning how to eliminate my blunders and he was learning how to play faster time controls.
He is a perfectionist and wants to have the game won before he has to speed up and prove it over the board. Here I have kept the game close enough that he hasn’t figured out the win yet. Of course, neither have I, as I have no real plan going forward.
