Beginning New Year of 2008 will be my chess comeback.
As part of my preparation are the in-depth studies of games against my future opponents. I will focus on their latest openings, their understanding of middle game and end game. You can help me by posting your comments regarding areas of strength and weaknesses of every player as you notice them on their games.
Please visit this site always.
