I'm trying to walk the walk lately, which means it is not a good idea to talk the talk at the same time. Since walking the walk is a system I activity, and talking the talk is for the satisfaction of system II. But anyway, here is some talk. The different attitude towards chess seems to be beneficial. Being no longer impressed by the complexity and trying to take the lead of my own line of thought seems to work. I remember that we (I) speculated in the past about the progress of Munich being caused by his labeling activity. By labeling the problems, you build a framework of understanding. Now I'm a premium member at Chess Tempo again, I can define my own labels, based on PoPLoAFun and the initiative. This gives me much more freedom to label a problem. I can tailor the labels just to my needs. Ok, 'nuf talk.
