It is December and Christmas is quickly approaching. I am really looking forward to this Christmas and spending my first Christmas with my wife and also with my family and friends. I have a few chess related things on my Christmas list including Fritz and a few books to add to the bookshelf and review for you!
But before Christmas I am playing in my first tournament for quite some time. I am playing in a local teams tournament so it will be interesting to see how I go after taking such a long break from tournament chess. I think I am playing board one for my team (Although I currently do not have an ACF rating) which may mean I could come up against some strong opponents. After the tournament I am heading straight to a camping holiday with my family for some relaxation, maybe even a few games of chess with my dad. So stay posted for the games from the tournament! I hope you are begining to enjoy the Christmas season.
