As to whether I can beat Erik, perhaps, but that would be a rare achievement. Erik is a Very fine player. I remember the last time I played him in Blitz, after I made a move, he smiled quizzically, which I took as a sign that I had made a subtle blunder. Of course, I lost that one. Ah, but I'm on a new gradual upsurge in my chess, so stay tuned. -AllenSouthwest Chess Clubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00340855894822667147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33487099.post-91742496705657978712011-11-28T22:53:52.909-06:002011-11-28T22:53:52.909-06:00I wouldn't think it would be impossible althou...I wouldn't think it would be impossible although it may not be likely.
