I haven't posted for ages, but that's mainly due to other things in my life.
I have entered numerous free OTB tournaments, and I am now considered one of the strongest players in the city after finishing 1st in all of them. I need improvement, though. I have noticed I am seemingly weak in endgames and have actually won my tournaments through quick attacking play, which usually results in middlegame mates.
I know I can't play like this all the time, so I have studied a lot on defensive and strategic play. I am now fluent in 1.e4 and 1.d4 openings and have pretty much memorised the plan behind each opening. I have studied a lot of the Sicilian Defence, while Kings Indian and The Sniper have also appealed to me.
To sum up my time off here:

New Opening Study
Yep, another opening! This time, it's the infamous King's Indian Attack! This system was notably used by Bobby Fischer and can lead into an unstoppable attack!
The King's Indian Attack (KIA), Note that I usually put the dark-squared bishop on e3, then move the knight.

New Opening Study
I have been using the English Opening for a week and all seems to be going well. I have not really been studying the Caro-Kann as I said I would, but I have been using the Sicilian more, so that's good.
