Ramblings and ruminations on chess in SE Wisconsin, the USA and the World

Patzer’s Notebook

Pages From A Patzer’s Notebook

Here we’ll present the lessons we’ve tried to learn as we failed to progress up the chess ladder, in the hopes that you will find some benefit in our struggles. The games presented here will almost always be between class players (as opposed to masters and grandmasters) and we hope will illustrate some typical mistakes from that level. Occasionally we’ll step above that level, and attempt to present some high-level games, just to give you something to strive for.
