Quiet Time

I am going to be taking some quiet time--but am not leaving here, or closing down for good or for long... But I am just putting the final touches on finishing the 30,000 unit at CTS (chess tactical server) after a monster run of 107 in a row correct, here at 1480-1545 recently.

Moreover, along with that, I am again pushing hard on CT-Art 3.0, and now find myself really grabbing hold of it with intense ardor. 2132 elo end of level four @ 72% overall, and ready to soon start level five.

Following a focused week on CTA3, my CTS rating quickly soared from 1500 to 1546 elo or so, and after the rarest bum session Sunday (true exhaustion from work, when once a month I am obligated to work 10 out of 11 days--standing for eight hours) when I got 16.9% wrong (I very rarely get 2 wrong out of 10 in bunches, but had many 3 of 10 trances Sunday, and one 5 out of 10--now THAT is tired! I am not that bad--with 'proof of the pudding' being Monday, when I did virtually the same thing for a brief space, when home briefly for lunch--over chess).














So thereafter, I put my head down and put the lazer back on, and just did 1f/122s= 123 tries. With CTA3 in hand in next week, I will zoom back to 1500+ and again, now that I recovered that shortest sub 90% annualized rate! My goodness! 1482 elo for a moment is far better than 1545 for me and a regressing percentile however slight on the margin! NO, NO, NO!

With the next 340 tries at CTS at 90.0%, I will be at 86.0507% for 30,000 tries and so prepare for the next push to 1600 at 90% equal or greater all sessions as my mandate, and see how far I can go at that accuracy level now. 1550 elo was inches away, and at 90 to 95% sessions at CTS paired with CTA, am confident in time I can do that... A bit of CT-Art 3.0 with a little CTS is a lot better than a lot of CTS with little or no CTA3.

Bye for now. Break from blogging. I will be changing some things, and nobody wishes to remain the same or repeat their 'one man act' day after day. How or where I do not know, but surely...















There is a new breed of 2400 elo women in chess who are hip, attractive, and worldly, to the delight of many a chess fan...

Focus, focus, focus, and roar the boiling water under CT-Art 3.0, then get back to live chess, and push back on 1600 ICC blitz (lot of games thereof on Vicadin in December and November, hardly a good measure of "real chess"). Lots of work to do.

Lastly, I am pushing on five per day of One Thousand and One Winning Sacrifices and Combinations by Reinfeld, and enjoying it immensely.

Warmly, dk
