Chessable Author A new book is in development in collaboration with IM@AttilaTurzo: KIMPLODES! Human Analysis. The goal is to provide a way to analyze your games before asking a silicon chess god to provide incomprehensible answers.

Me Tomar. Me blog. Me read blogs. "Me Tomar" is not spanish...in this instance.

Favorite openings: Ruy Lopez, both sides. I simply resign if White plays 1 d2-d4, and offer a draw if White plays c2-c4. What I like in chess: weak squares Favorite players: Bent Larsen.

Who am I? Basically, just some yahoo who makes inexplicable blunders, whether OTB or online (mouse slips are explicable, but annoying).

Some key blogs:

 
 Secrets of Trapping Pieces: One Blog to Link Them All This blog provides links to all the 2023 blogs I produced about trapping pieces.


KIMPLODES! Explosive Analysis Approach--Break it up, baby! The first in a series of 2024 blogs that offer an approach to analysis based loosely on some prior work by others such as IM J. Silman.



Secrets of Trapping Pieces: Anastasia's Mate The first in a series of 2024 blogs on the secrets of trapping pieces with a specific emphasis on puzzles to test your skill at completing various mating configurations such as a Suffocation Mate, Arabian Mate, etc.

With help like this, who can write at all.
