The Houston Chess Club (HCC)Â Â has a month long tournament on Wednesday night. Â Each game takes just one night. Â Each player is given 90 minutes to make the first 30 moves and then gets an additional 60 minutes each to finish the game. Â All in all, it can be a 5 hour game.
This month, Stephen and I played. Â The first round was the best for me in terms of the least mistakes, and I thought it would be a good chance to try out the Chess By Blog wordpress plugin.
