status update
hey anyone reading this, how’s it going?
for those wondering:
i am indeed back in the states, had a great time travelling, saw lots of cool crap, learned a lot, met lots of folks, and frankly, i miss it.
but now i’m back in colorado, snowboarding and figuring some things out. things are still kind of up in the air as to what will happen, what i will do. i wont be playing in any tournaments this year. i want to, i miss the tournaments, the whole scene, but it doesn’t look like it will happen. i’m hoping to return to the tournament scene next year, we’ll see.
i really didn’t plan on continuing blogging, but, i’m like steven adler with heroin when it comes to blogs and blitzing, i have a serious problem that not even dr drew can help with. but i admit it, and that is the first step.
so what do i do all day? i sit, unwashed, not eating, wearing my cool
ENDGAME CLOTHING t-shirts, or my WHAT WOULD MORPHY DO t-shirt, and blitz all damn day until my eyes hurt. kind of pathetic.
so there is that.
i will occasionally write here, but not as much as i used to, and probably not the quality it used to be. also, not always about chess, i have lots of ideas and various crap in my head that i might want to get out, and this will be the venue for that. just so you know.
rock on.

Glad to hear you are back.
Although I enjoyed reading about your SA adventures. I thought you were talking about staying there for good?
Is Mrs. C.L. still around?
Best of luck

Great news. I want to read the chessloser take on life, the universe and all that other crap that is neither life nor the universe.
Keep on rockin’ me, baby.

I always knew youd be back. Your psychological game is transcending to your blog.

I hope that your unwilling to play in the tournaments will last about the same time, as your unwilling to blog. Maybe you should start reading chess books again, it will keep your mind occupied, as blitz, but also even you just read it as a fiction, some ideas will stay in your head. Also, if you are playing blitz, try different openings, even the ones you never played before. It will make you familiar with different positions and middlegame plans and will help you to choose the opening repertoire. I am sure you will “restore to your full capacity”.

Good to hear you’re back. Actually I somewhat figured that out when you were writing about playing icc chess five hours a day.
That is one way to improve. Probably not the best, but better than what I’ve been doing. And I’ve got plenty of time (and some incentive).
Give me a call sometime.

Welcome back! We’ll enjoy anything you want to write about. Who’s taking bets on when CL will break down and go to a tournament? Before/during/after National Open?
