Chessmaster

This is Tuna, one of my classmates from Turkey. He is a great fellow. We discovered a mutual interest in chess when Tuna mentioned he "used to play a bit." It soon became clear that he was a great player but just a bit rusty. Our first games were close, but I could sense that my window for victories would only be open until he got his sea legs back. Indeed our first several matches were thrilling and down to the wire, and I was proud of my 1-2 record. Now I stand at somewhere around 1-11, not that anyone is really keeping track. I am hoping that after a few more wins he'll become complacent and I'll have a shot at victory #2.
