Chess Improvement

~ Eu Hong’s Road to Chess Improvement ~

Great Power Comes with Great Responsibility

Sounds familiar? :D Well, I am not some super powered super hero but there are some changes lately and as a result I has more responsibility. This changes actually resulted in lesser time for me to work on chess…

Fortunately this changes will not actually affect my possibility of playing in FIDE rated events in future but with lesser time to work on chess improvement, how can I hope to improve?

Time will tell…

May the force be with me…

First Hundred

Last week had been a busy working week for me where I stayed in office for more than 60 hours and naturally, no time for chess. This week however, started with my first hundred tries at the Chess Tactics Server after more than 1 month of break.

Off from Practice

Most of my time lately was spent catching up with works and working on new tasks. A series of stay back and over time follows and I am still busy. I had not really “touch” my chess set since earlier this month not to mention practice or training. Too bad.

Even my handle at Chess Tactics Server is becoming inactive in few days time.

May be later, later when Labor day comes I will get some time to “touch” some chess pieces. I hope…

Anyway, all the best for those playing in the final rounds of MSSPP Chess Team Championship later today.

Cheers!

Signing Off & back to work…

Incomplete

Yea, as planned I managed to hide at home most of the time but the to-do list is not completed as planned as I visited a potential tournament venue and discussed about it over the morning.

I did not read the book, Studies and Games as well but read another one which is the 100 selected games by Botvinnik and go for another 100 tries at the Chess Tactics Server.

There are still several items waiting to be posted at Chess.EuHong.NET, particularly the report of UniKL Open and PFS Open. Hopefully I can get them done this weekend.

Signing off ~~ :D

100 tries daily - continue…

A planned was created previously to make 100 tries daily before major tournaments start for year 2008. However a hobby player like me will have difficulty to concentrate too much on chess. Well, I tried my best but until now, it is always around 3-5 hundreds of tries weekly. :(

100 tries daily

The objective is to get myself used to tactics before next major tournament. 100 tries of not too difficult tactics at Chess Tactics Server should do the job.

Idle AGAIN!

I know I have to stop giving excuses to myself but I just couldn’t help it. It had been more than 1 month since I do any practice. That is one of the reasons my play was lacking in GP1, GP2 and GP3…
