Well, here is my second game. I refer to this in the notes, but I wanted to comment on the relatively low ratings of my first two opponents. I don't choose my opponents, but rather just post a seek with a range of 150 points in either direction. Unfortunately, this means that unrated (1200 points by default on chess.com) opponents will see my seek. So my opponent WAS 1200 when we played. I am considering making the floor of my seek 1201, but I suppose its also possible that I would draw a much stronger opponent who is just joining the site.

One final note. I refer to a
"John" in my discussion of the opening. I think the link explains it well.
Also, if anyone can recommend a good endgame book to me, it would be greatly appreciated. Dan Heisman (the man who's website I have been following for my early book recommendations) says
Pandolfini's Endgame Course but I have heard bad things. I'm also considering the Silman book.
