CA - I teach Geometry and AP Stats at the high school level. I stopped playing chess online a while back and decided to let Rybka kick my tail around the board. According to Rybka I'm 1420 on my best day and embarrassing most other days. I'm a big fan of:

The Scandinavian
2-Proportion hypothesis testing
Sacrifices I would NEVER see
Chicago Bears
Oakland Athletics
Lacrosse
Actually playing chess over a live board.

Mar-03-18 K Treybal vs F Kafka, 1921

eykca: The Metamorphosis is a bit overrated, *ducks* read The Trial instead... his greatest work in my ridiculously silly opinion.

Feb-23-18 A Korobov vs Bologan, 2018

eykca: Beautiful. Games like this are like that one sweet swing on the 3rd hole of 18 that makes you go back the next time. This damn game is infuriating and addicting. PS. the ol' Lichess didn't go well tonight...

Jan-27-18 S Volkov vs Svidler, 2017

eykca: Holy #$*#, what a game.. didn't understand any of the moves, but I don't understand how Hemingway writes w/o 50 cent words or how Bach sets the notes, doesn't exclude me from enjoying it... wow...

Jan-21-18 J L Jacobsen vs W Crane, 1897

eykca: Ready for a super helpful comment... Everything from 17 to 23 was so beautiful... reminded me why I frustrate myself on lichess for an hour or 2 each night.. jeez.

Dec-14-17 M Fogg vs K Lundback, 2011

eykca: <Delboy> what an odd thing to take offense to... lol

Nov-18-17 C Li vs J C Sadorra, 2007

eykca: wonderful play, I kept counting material (like a patz) and every time I did, I worried for white (like a patz) great game.

Oct-25-17 Anand vs Svidler, 2017

eykca: The avalanche of pawns is on...

Oct-16-17 Anderssen vs Dufresne, 1852

eykca: <"You can see the hand of a master".> A borrowed line from when Leibniz challenged his contemporaries to solve a difficult math problem. Legend has it, Newton came home from his farm one day to find the problem in his mailbox. He solved it that evening and submitted it ...

Sep-02-17 Marshall vs Chigorin, 1905

eykca: Incredible...

Aug-18-17 R Zile vs Nyberg, 1984

eykca: Correct me if I'm wrong, but <Phony Benoni's> last post sounds like it was posted after 1.5 glasses of Merlot.
