Perhaps this is the catalyst that will activate the CTS circles you did recently. MDLM was a great believer in this and did them before each tournament. Look forward to hearing about your results. Reading Likeforest comment about the knight sight drills reminds me that I have been missing a few Knight forks myself and could benefit from revisiting them...takchesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12700106696079445533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10713928.post-1158743747786538762006-09-20T11:15:00.000+02:002006-09-20T11:15:00.000+02:00Tak,the past 3 weeks I concentrated on just that, ...Tak,<BR/>the past 3 weeks I concentrated on just that, repeating small sets of old problems according to the system of spaced repetition.

You might want to consider forming a data base from the 5 X5 problems in Ct-art. This would be similar to the patterns in Bloch book there were about 400 of them . (this can be only found in his earlier book the latest doesn't have the simplified patterns). the 5 X5 problem set are the problem within the problem.<BR/>good luck with the upcoming chess season.takchesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12700106696079445533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10713928.post-1158662278446048462006-09-19T12:37:00.000+02:002006-09-19T12:37:00.000+02:00hey, who can we blame for popularizing odd or idio...hey, who can we blame for popularizing odd or idiosyncratic pictures on blogger in chess training and improvment? flog them!<BR/><BR/>...see you at the end of the rainbow tempo, nice post... 20,000 tomorrow for sure, only five days off plan set in ealry July.<BR/><BR/>dktransformationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10834788878068428887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10713928.post-1158658033580246632006-09-19T11:27:00.000+02:002006-09-19T11:27:00.000+02:00There's no need to choose, I can do both CTS and t...There's no need to choose, I can do both CTS and the microdrills. The truth lies probably somewhere in the middle of the spectrum, but I have to check for myself if the microdrills can be ruled out. As Sancho indicated, I work by the method of exclusion. SOMETHING is working when exercising at CTS. What is it? So let's pop!Temposchluckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07977208394417444785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10713928.post-1158656869515345282006-09-19T11:07:00.000+02:002006-09-19T11:07:00.000+02:00I did, but I think it was a waste of time.
