Next weekend is an opportunity for anyone with an interest to observe, take part and talk to active players of various strength in Cumbria when the Three Peaks Go Tournament takes place in Grange [...] -

Dan… the event wouldn’t have happened at all if you hadn’t stepped in to organise it. I wouldn’t give yourself too hard a time about it.

On Sunday 9th October, the Carlisle Rapidplay was held in the spacious function room of the local Working Men’s club. Numbers were down a huge amount – only 26 people came along! I was most disappointed by this, mainly because I had three people not show up without bothering to tell me. To the twentyfive [...]

Dan O’Dowd commented on the blog post Wallace-O’Dowd 2010 7 months, 2 weeks ago
Heyyy, glad to have some comments! First off; my intuition (since I have no knowledge yet of King’s Indian or other structures) is that since White is White, and playing e4, he would find it easier to play the early f4 before Nf3 in the first place. If we think of the position as a [...]

This was the second game in 2010 between Bruce and me. It was my sixth game of the season, in a run that led me to 7.5/10 and a pre-Xmas performance of 163. I hadn’t got any prep in against Bruce, so wondered if I’d be facing a Collé/Torré opening. Numbers in brackets are [...]

Hi all! Welcome to O’Dowd’s Diary – the ongoing blog of a hopefully still improving club player. Of course, most of you reading will be my fellow Cumbrian players, but perhaps some of you are outside our rainy realm. Perhaps an intro is in order! I learned to play first at the age of 6 [...]
