The Chess 365 Project: Day 44 — Tony Delgado vs. 1squirt (rematch)
I’ve decided to post one chess game a day for an entire year. It’s called The Chess 365 Project. Hopefully I’ll win more than I lose, but at the very least it’ll give me more chess experience and keep me playing quite a bit. Here’s day 44:
