In order to derive some definite conclusions and fuelling the discussions I have reworked the scheme of Phaedrus to the extreme. (click to enlarge/sharpen) Thinking can give you a maximum rating advantage of 200 points. That is when every factor that constitutes the filter is 100%: Your stamina = 100% Concentration = 100% Time management = 100% Coffee = 100% No alcohol = 100% Visualisation = 100% etc. = 100% If one of those factors is below 100% the maximum extra rating gain drops below 200 points. Knowledge can transfer to the board by transformation into motorskill. Complex motorskills take care of the scanning of the board and the recognition of patterns. Someones rating is mainly based on the complex motorskills he has trained.

Before I took a break in blogging I had during a few weeks a lengthy discussion with Phaedrus . At the end of the discussion I reached a definite conclusion. That's why I felt comfortable to take a break in the first place. Now the time has come to put the idea's to the test. The idea's are not new, I experimented with them in the past more than once. If I reach the same conclusion after three different routes of reasoning, there must be something in it. The fact that the following experiments based on the conclusion proved unsuccesful so far shows that I was not precise enough and missed the real point. Besides the renaissance choir I attend weekly I subscribed to sing in a close harmony quartet. Since close harmony singing is quite new to me it will take me some time to catch up. That are the risks of taking a break from blogging:) So I have to be careful with my spare time. That's why I limit my research to only one subject: target-awareness . My goal is to train t...
