Current Status
My rating on Game Knot is 1368 (58th percentile), this puts me in Game Knot’s Intermediate ranking.

Current Record
W-L-D: 35-27-0 (62 total games).
Win percentage: 56%.

The Goal
I want to play regualarly and improve my rating at Game Knot to 1500 or above, this would put me in the Advanced ranking. I have been rated as high as 1389 so I think this is a realistic goal.

Secondary Goal
To play in the next Game Knot tournament (starts Sept. 5) and advance past the first round.

The Plan
To have several games going at once and to read about and study the game of chess.

Long-range Plan
Once my Game Knot rating improves I will play real-time matches on the Free Internet Chess Server .
