Chess Is a Struggle

I have been playing tournament chess for over 30 years and my FIDE, CFC and FQE ratings are in the 2100s. In this book, I annotate 50 games from my tournament play. They were played against opponents ranging in strength from 'A' class to International Master. I believe that, despite being far from GM quality, games played at this level can be instructive and entertaining. It is chess as most of us play it; imperfect, yet interesting despite the flaws. This book grew from my chess notebooks, and represents two years of work. I hope that it might inspire others to put out their own book.
