This blog will be devoted to my quest to surpass a blitz chess rating of 1450 on chess.com. As I was introduced to the game at about age 8, have loved it ever since, and turn 56 next month, I'm approaching 50 years of playing this wonderful game. My oldest friend in the world, with whom I've played thousands of games, recently suggested I join chess.com so we can play live chess against each other. I've challenged him to a race to a blitz chess rating of 1450. To maintain his privacy, I'll simply refer to him as monvieux in this blog. I'll go by neostreet. May the best man win!
The numbers I'll use to end each blog post will be our current blitz ratings, followed by the number of games played in parentheses.
neostreet: 1264 (16)
monvieux: 1355 (448)
