A Scrub's Eye View

Hi, my name is Doug. And I am a chess-aholic. So this is both a way of keeping track of my own progress and a way of logging good moves, bad ones, and everything in between for my benefit and whoever else wants to read it.

I am a strict 1. e4 player, which I meet in turn with the Sicilian Najdorf. Against 1. d4, I have played the KID religiously in Fischer's footsteps but am trying sharper play like the Benoni and possibly QID following the likes of Tal and Anand.

I want to share the little bit of knowledge I have as a competent Sicilian player and a strong KID player as well. Hopefully people will feel a little less daunted by playing something as analyzed as the Sicilian by a good overview of the defense.

Cheers,
Doug
