Know Thy Opponent

You should check out your opponents games. Sometimes there is something there you can take advantage off. My opponent here didn't have much history but I noticed he played the Gran Prix attack in the Sicilian. So I spent some time and prepared something. If he doesn't play that way, oh well, use it against someone else. If he does play that line, you're at a big advantage.

Ivio on Fire

Ivio won two league games this weekend. Here's the game for Selenium in the U1800.

Good Defense by Ivio
