I am a USCF National Master current rating 2253. I am the current co-IL State Chess Champion for 2008. I tied for second place in the state championship.<br /><br />I was once over 2300 and hope to be over 2300 once again. I also dream of becoming a Fide Master which requires my FIDE Rating to one day go over 2300 but thats a long way in the future.<br /><br />I am going to use this blog to share games some news from IL. Maybe talk some about the chicago blaze which I have played one match for so far.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4410457202436971049-2574737643437484338?l=gettingbackto2300.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jon Burgesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01063340919715618251noreply@blogger.com7
