Here is the link to my Round 1 U1600 game: CLICKY. I sacced a knight, and then the exchange and ended up having four pawns for his rook. I could have won a fifth pawn but chose a draw by repitition instead of risking it. What would you have done in that position?
I played another team chess game yesterday afternoon and won, so I'm 1.5/3 so far this season. I will annotate that game today and probably post it later.

Chess For Zebras - a very good book, and well worth buying. It won't teach you any new tactics, new lines or traps. Rather it asks more fundamental questions about chess. How do we improve? How do we find the best move? Does white really have an advantage going first? What baggage do we bring to the game?
He has a number of useful advice... like: don't make a plan more than 3 moves long; you can never solve a position, just respond to the changing demands as the game progresses. But you have to think about it and internalise it before you will improve.
Here is a pdf sample of the book
Druss,
Thanks for the information and the sample, it looks really good, your description sounds good.
Also, thanks for the "summary feed" at bloglines, that's an excellent way to keep up with all the blogs without having to click on each one!
