Happy new year!
Margriet and I are preparing for the oncoming Tata/Corus tournament by solving the exercises in Reassess your chess. I'm scoring terribly bad in all area's except for one: Macho Chess.
Silman describes that as "pushing your own agenda". Neglecting my opponents moves always has been a strong point of mine:)
So the bad news is that I'm still a one trick pony and a positional nitwit. The good news is that there is still very much room for improvement though.
Continuing with blindfold chess and visualisation of the diagonals.
Good luck at the Tata Chess tournament.
ReplyDeleteDont worry to much, one always say that if one studies chess ones rating may go down but eventually one will get back to the rating one is worth.
Btw, this is probably the first post in a long time by you i hadn't had to read five times before i understood something of it. :-)
ReplyDeleteClarity is a luxury that takes much time:)
