Though Id share one of my favorite chess related videos. This is a classic SNL skit with one of the funniest actors alive Will Ferrell!

This is my first entry, I am competing in the Duncan Oxley Memorial Tournament in a half hour which is an online tournament for college students, it is the premier online chess tournament for college students. For more info on college chess visit www.collegechess.org
My first opponent is David Wyde 2144, I haven't played any players above 2000 in tournament play but I have earned a draw against Jennifer Shahade in a simul, though that really doesn't count for anything. This tournament will. I am excited to play tougher opponents, but I have to admit, even though I thought playing higher rated opponents would make it easier on myself I still get a bit nervous about this, its a bit of excitement and being anxious for the first round to start at 3. All 5 rounds are every Sunday and is played on the ICC servers. For those who don't know, my ICC username is JosephCr
