The Chess Mind

By Dennis Monokroussos.
This is a blog for chess fans by a chess fan, one who loves the beauty of the game and wants to share it with those who are like-minded.
Yet the chess mind is not only a chess mind, and other topics, such as philosophy, may appear from time to time. All material copyrighted.
I'm an IM?
Apparently I've been promoted: take a look at FM Robert Rowley's chess link page. While you're there, check out his U.S. Open (2003) page - you'll find some good, instructively and honestly annotated games there.

Hat tip: Victor Reppert

P.S. for those who aren't sure: I'm not an IM. Perhaps when I'm playing my best, in positions I know well, that's my strength. Unfortunately, there are other times and other positions, and the overall average isn't good enough - at least not yet.

Aha, I see I'm not the only one who somehow convinced himself you had a title. (I was somewhat more generous than Rowley, as I transmogrified you into a GM.) Then again, as my own "footprint" in the chess world grows, as it seems on the verge of doing, I'm at risk that similar confusion will be visited on me: In fact, there is a player whose name is almost the same as mine (JOHN Jacobs), who I'm pretty sure is an FM.
