Hey, you're 33 years young! Don't underestimate how strong you can become =)

I also would enjoy a round-robin format - I like the idea of everyone playing everyone.

Ty , Actually i am working really hard on my chess in this period, I guess every chess player wants to improve. And we all can do that but not with the same speed.

I remember playing against wuzhe on chess cube last year, he was always attacking, but still hanging pieces from time to time and knew just a few common tactics.
Now he attacks, hangs pawns and knows more tactics.
Next year he will probably stop lashing out prematurely alltogether and become a great overall attacker.

I must say I sympatise with you about the age thing. I'm 26 and until some time last year I tried to compete with the youngsters.
I gave up after a few tournaments, there are so many monstrously talented kids in Rijeka.
One little kid managed to grind me to pieces incredibly fast. It was a 30 min each game.
I used up all of my time and his clock was showing that he still has 25 min, and his feet weren't even touching the ground while he sat in the chair
I believe he was like 9

Inače,
Great commentary, I like all of them very much.
The best parts for me are when you say 'interesting position' and you light up a cigarette

Thanks man Your post is very funny, I actually heard about those talented kids in Rijeka (Croatia). Chess is traditionally strong in that city.

A moram zapaliti cigaru kad me napada kao ludjak. A to mi zadnja partija turnira a ni jedne pobjede nemam, pa me neka nervoza uhvatila .

They have a good teacher, GM Cvitan and a few old FM's and IM's hang out at the most popular chess club all the time and organise weekly blitz games with an enterance fee of only ~1€ so the kids can play but, what is more important, they get to watch the older guys and learn.
btw. this Cvitan dude is incredibly good at blitz (in standard chess he often aims for theoretical draws and waits for his oponent to come after him)
