dear Liza, dear Liza?  My little blitz test revealed me that I have about 30,000 holes in my bucket. Give or take a hole or two. Somehow, I must find the plugs that fix more than 1 hole at the time. I.e. I need multi fixing plugs. We are talking about transfer here. So I'm investigating what the holes in my bucket have in common.

 System 1 (subconscious thinking) is where your attention is. It cannot function without the light of attention. It works its miracles in the dark, though. System 2 (conscious thinking) cannot communicate directly with system 1. It seems to have some power over the direction your attention is going, though. After all, you can't be conscious without the light of attention. In the past few months, I accidently stumbled over a method how to give conscious input to system 1. How to give some direction to the course that system 1 is following. It appears that system 1 is susceptible for images with geometrical patterns. I will describe step by step how I arranged the process. It is not iron clad, since there is still a lot to discover. It is a begin though. The steps are probably not going to be coherent, but you can see the steps as tags to make it more easy to talk about it. I will make the steps where you actually educate your system 1 red . That's where you build skill. I will m

 After 100 days of training, I decided to find out whether Mr. Glicko agrees with the notion that I'm apparently on the right track. Well, he doesn't. I did 174 rated blitz problems and obtained a rating of 1705 from it . That is about 100 points below my All Time High of 1806 (July 2017). Yet I'm moderately optimistic. I trained only 48 days in a way that I had the feeling that it effected my system 1 (subconscious thinking). I'm sure I filled quite a few holes in my bucket. I renewed a whole lot of patterns which I thought I was familiar with, but which I was actually forgotten. I think I have found a way to communicate with my system 1. I solved the how should system 1 be trained. Now I must solve the what . What should I feed the system 1 with? So far I used a themed problem set : double attacks discovered attacks skewers pins overloading mate in 3 500 total problems max 2 moves deep. I call this problem set my base set. Apparently, such global approach doesn't
