I would play for Les Miles because I htink he has the same passion I do about winning. And also that cares about the MIchigan community. I still hope its Harbaugh.

Wich I could be there with my kids to meet you, Vincent. Taking my kids out of town to see the grandmas. Hope it works out in the future to do something like this again.
Have a great time tomorrow, and Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas. We are going to do more things in the future so I hope to see your kids there. If you have sugjestions let me know I was also thinking about the Hands On Museum in downtown Ann Arbor.

Do you think you could beat Clay Davis in Chess? What about Bode, or Wallace?
December 25th, 2014 at 2:54 PM ^
I dont know who that is and I am just starting.

Merry Christmas MgoFam and Vincent. For anybody interested, HBO will be running a digitally remastered marathon of The Wire starting tomorrow at 12 pm eastern on HBO Signature. Random comment for my first post I know but shiiiiiiiit. I've seen too many Wire references here to not share this info. Happy Harbaugh Days!

Merry Christmas, Vince! Congrats on the new hobby. I went to chess club every friday for 5 years. It will change your life. It's also great to play with family during the holidays.
December 25th, 2014 at 2:55 PM ^
Do you have strategys for me? I agree.
December 25th, 2014 at 3:01 PM ^
It's kind of like football. Exploit weaknesses and mismatches. Make them pay for mistakes and always have a gameplan.

I've always liked to push my pawns and play in space. It can be reckless at times but it usually pays off.

Okay Okay. Yesterday I started off with a double move with the pawns and then set up my horses side by side. I will start trying the back row piece trade.

queens are your mvp, but i find bishops underrated.
cool trick: "castleing", especially queen-side.

Thats the best part of the game
December 25th, 2014 at 5:47 PM ^
Learning some basic opening strategy will help your play immensely and help you feel less like a scrub. :) Basically in the early moves try to (1) establish your pieces in the center of the board (2) move your kingside knight and bishop off of the back row to prepare to castle, and (3) try to castle within the first 10-15 moves. If you can do that, you should be set up to compete reasonably well in the mid game.

I like this stratagey and took a screen shot so I can remember it.
December 25th, 2014 at 11:30 PM ^
December 26th, 2014 at 9:12 AM ^
bet. Thats one of my strategies I am getting used to opening up with.

THank you and Merry Christmas to you and your family. It is a nice idea and later in the future we can plan an event with a good time and date.

Merry Christmas Vincent. Those throwback screens to you were my favorite play of the Hoke era. They always got big yards.
December 26th, 2014 at 9:17 AM ^
Thank you I had a lot of fun with those screen passes
December 25th, 2014 at 3:53 PM ^
Merry Christmas MrSmith and thanks for all the great football memories. You were one of my favorite players.

Hopefully you're having an excellent Christmas as well.
I wish I could go to SkyZone tomorrow, especially as I am about 15 minutes from there, but previously laid out plans made it difficult. The kids would have a blast though (especially my son, who seems to be able to spend hours on trampolines), so if there's anything like this in the future, let us know!

I agree with you on the reps and I am learning more and more in every game I play. I will continue to do more research and get better as I go. Because practice does make perfect.
