In Response To: Blunder of the Day (Timothy Chow)

Thanks, Nack and Tim for your feedback. As Nack points out, I could make my Positions of the Day harder, but trying to make it hard enough to challenge Nack is not my goal and I would probably end up having plays that are .001 apart in order to do that.

The major reason I select a given play, and keep in mind, I do this EVERY DAY, is that I found it difficult myself, or I found that other reasonably good or open players missed the play over the board.

Usually, the result is that player "less-than-Nack" end up learning something or being reminded of something important from the position that, as Tim said, will help them in the future. I am sure many of my plays are not challenging for many of you, just those of you who fall into that "less-than-Nack" category. And I suspect that includes, well, just about everybody.
