Ok, so here's the deal:
For this year's Michigan Open, I want to make things a little more fun. :)
During the Michigan Open , I will be giving updates (hopefully) after every round! And whenever I feel like posting. This will include games, puzzles, comments, pictures (hopefully), and more. So... If you are interested, keep a watch on my blog, and feel free to make a comment if you'd like. :)
I am SO tired, but SO excited! I have to wake up at like 5:00 tomrrow, (I've been waking up at like 10:00 for the past couple of weeks. O_O) so I have to go get some sleep. I went out shopping for some peanuts and crackers and stuff tonight, also. :)
I hope I do well. I think I have pretty good chances of winning, since I am near the top of my section. (1725 in the U1800 section.)
More later, I have to sleep now.

Replayable Games!
Hello everybody! Again, I have not posted for a long time, but, now that I have an EASY way to make my games replayayble, you can look forward to posts every other week!
It is SO simple and quick to create. Here is an example of what it looks like:
The buttons are a little small and confusing, but that shouldn't be a huge deal.
I still am very thankfull for Tim Clark's help, but I think this is just so much quicker.
The problem with Tim Clark's replayable games idea is that it takes such a long time to post. There are so many steps, and it is hard (for me) to do.
Thanks to my friend Mukund Rao from chesskid.com for teaching me how to do this! It is very helpful for posting games in a flash whenever you need too.
Here are the steps for doing this on a blogger. The steps are similar for posting on any other website.
POSTING REPLAYABLE GAMES ON YOUR BLOG!:
1) Go onto either chess.com or chesskid.com. (For this walkthrough, I will be using chesskid.com, but it shouldn't be any different for chess.com
2) Either go to where you would post a comment in a forum, or where you would send a private message to somebody.
3) Click on the tool in the top left corner that looks like a chesboard.
4) Create a GAME. I think it only works with games. Go through all of the steps BUT DON'T CLICK SUBMIT!
5) On the final step (the step where it previews the final result.) there should be a button that says 'share' to the right the chessboard. Click on it
6) Copy the text given.
7) Now, you may submit the game. In fact, you have to submit the game in order for this to work. That is one downside. Otherwise, it will not have an adress.
8) Go into your blog, and change the settings to HTML, and under options, Interpret typed HTML.
9) Paste the text into the HTML
10) Now, when you preview the page, (or just go back to compose.) you should see your game in a replayable format.
That is how you can easily post replayable chess games into your blog. Hope this helps!
