It's paradoxical that I have followed the main elements expounded by Nimzowitsch, but yet with my extra space and pawn I am actually losing. To make matters worse it's still very cold in the UK, but thankfully this game is hotting up.
It's probably the hottest thing that I have been near for the last two days with freezing temperatures outside and not much warmth in our lounge at the moment. Mind you I did manage 30 lengths of the swimming pool this afternoon along with a Sauna. Oh, and coffee and meatballs with a good friend of mine in town. Not a lot of meatballs, but a lot of friend. Adam has a FIDE Chess Rating, but that didn't stop him freezing in the cold. I don't have a FIDE rating as I enjoyed the cut and thrust of open play too much. Which in simple terms meant that I really enjoyed my chess, but I lost almost as many games as I won and often against weak opposition against whom I could have slogged it out for a definite win, but at the cost of a very boring few hours. Nothing worse than a boring 6 hour game of chess.
Unlike the cold, which I don't enjoy at all. It bit into the skin, especially when we went shopping and back to the car. The cold was made worse in that my Bro sent me a £45 pair of gloves yesterday and in a made rush across town I left them in the boot. Now there's a logistical preparedness lesson if there ever was one. Well two lessons really; [1] remember your gloves, or [2] move to a warmer climate. I bet that it's quite warm in Accra at the moment, but not as warm as the position in the game between Roger from Wales and Jeffers from Ghana that began on the 6th January 2010.
