I've created this blog for the purpose of recording and tracking my chess study. My objective is to improve my chess playing and the quality of my games. The other side effect that I expect is to increase my rating toward expert (and eventually master).

Today I drilled with Chessposition trainer.

Today I read pp 61-88 of Silman's Complete Endgame Course (SCEC). I completed the test, and missed only one question.

I currently have 25 correspondence games on chessworld.net website. Two of my game has 2 days per move which I need to stay on top of. I'm caught up for tonight.

I've been following the London Grand Prix. Gelfand is leading the tourney. There is hope for us old folks. I've also been following the US Chess league on ICC.
