7.1.11 2011 HALFWAY MARK! As the 1st half of the year comes to a close, I've maneuvered n' adjusted a lotta pieces in my checkers match vs life, Some of mine got gobbled, but I gobbled right back. With the 2nd half of the year looming, I'll have new challenges to take on & a fantastic chinese congregation to support, n' a fun ride in the process in site. Hmm what IS my next move. (Shot taken @ B St in Hayward; LOVE the park checkerboard setup :D)
& Props to everyone on 365 & the rest of the SLR folks once again for representing. My personal favorite? Larlene Ramos B-). ♥ her 365 it's the best in my opinion.

A 1950 ELO rating in chess signifies a strong, experienced player, typically classified as a Class A player or Candidate Master (depending on the specific federation like USCF or FIDE, though FIDE generally places Candidate Master closer to 2000-2200). This rating indicates a deep understanding of chess principles, tactics, and strategy, with the ability to consistently beat lower-rated opponents and put up a significant fight against even master-level players. A 1950 ELO player has likely studied various openings, endgames, and middlegame concepts, demonstrating a good level of positional play and calculation. They are typically active in tournaments and are continuously working to refine their game.
