Loss. One too instructive to avoid posting for that reason, though.
First player in a long time to expose any actual weakness of Ware Defense.

Dave Ramsey. The 3 money skills that people often struggle with:
1. Spending 2. Saving 3. Giving
(Earning?)
I was in the process of assessing and re-assessing a lot of things before CV.
The scans of Dave Ramsey were a re-visit from the time I first stumbled upon him back around 2008, when I used to listen to him on radio.
I'm trying to figure out what the new "normal" for the world is or is going to be now, though; I'm not sure if the rules have changed fundamentally or simply DRAMATICALLY but superficially yet.

Another Latvian Gambit win. Elo is misleading; I had a 1600 something before this match.

Involved, Queen-down, reverse-the-odds win, playing as Black.
