Go up one level in this thread


I usually play OTB tournaments every week at a chess club. I also practice by
playing on Internet (ICC, FICS, CEX,...) and by playing against computers (Rebel
 DOS, Fritz, etc...) against both 2D or 3D boards. Usually I prefer 2D boards
when training (reading a book, tactics, endgames) but when reading a well
commented game I prefer to see it using the real wooden board/pieces. That makes
the experience more real like when I'm playing at a tournament.

My FIDE ELO is only 2029, nut recently I got a draw with a fide master rated
2338 - I had only some seconds left in the clock when he offered a draw (I
accepted it), but my position is a clear win. Here's the game commented by Deep
Junior:
