End of Day Report Sep 12th
Today: Pretty good day, found out I got an A+ on my test, raised my CTS score back up to 1290 from the low 1270 it was at earlier, brought my times up in the visualization exercises. (New highs of 274.54 on the knight mover and 69.83 on the square color game. The squares are starting to make a little more sense to me now. I now have the area from d1-d5 through h1-h4 memorized and can visualize them pretty well.. I still have trouble with ones on the c and b files though. I didn't have a chance to read my book today or to do any endgame stuff but I played 4 games on FICS, won 2 lost 2, posted the 2 wins up here as the losses were really irrelevant. (One of them I just played stupidly and got into a really bad position and then hung a piece.) I usually only post wins on here because in wins it is a lot harder for me to see where I went wrong to analyze so I like to see your guys' ideas how how I could have done better.
Tomorrow: Tactics, visualization and an endgame if I can find the time.
