It's cold outside. The day's are short. Must be time to start the new chess season. We have a couple new players and a new, improved place to play upstairs at Pour Jon's. More chances to win!
It's a nice mental break that may ultimately prevent an early mental breakdown. The plan now is to make Tuesday a standing day each week (this week excepted). Let us know if there are suggestions for another day.

Chess Night - March 20, 2014 - Pour Jon's
Faced off against my chess nemesis Martini. We played three games of which Martini won two handily. In every game, I gave him the opportunity for a Rook-King or Queen-King pin which he ruthlessly exploited. What the heck? Three games in a row!? I guess I need to start practicing with my computer program at a higher level than 0.
Still, I can't help thinking that some funny business was going on. I won't come right out and say that Martini cheated but I do find it curious that when I returned from a bathroom break both of my bishops were on white squares. Also, in another game he somehow ended up with three rooks even though I don't remember him promoting any pawns. I need to keep a closer eye on him.
