Chess Study Hiatus

I haven't seriously studied chess in months now. I have been spending some time learning some more practical knowledge. I am playing my best chess ever. When I return to study I will probably try some 'Solitare Chess' based on several others suggestions. With recent study getting extra weight in my analysis I am able to play better chess (for now). Plus it is more fun.

Having completed some 5000 tactical problems I would have to say the MDLM program is garbage for complete chess study. It is fine for tactical training which should comprise a fair chunk of your 'Total Training'.

I am 3-0 out at the club championships this year so far. The first game contained my favorite chess quote:
"I am going to try something" = I am going to try this unsound sac
Second game was tougher he wasn't using his clock though.
Third game was against a weaker opponent. Scando declined, early f6, exf6 and death down the F file. Gave him my N and R for Q and P with his N and R stuck on the Qside...

I am going to consider myself graduated when I hit 7000 problems or 400 points in any of my ratings.

I am also going to post my chess training draft and update it when I have something to update it with. No use in it being invisible.

Happy hunting!!
