Day 8

I played a slow game against the Chessmaster 10 personality “Alicia”, but it was an uneventful game and not worthy of posting. I won, but the engine “missed” an easy tactical blow so the win was rather empty. Playing as much chess on Facebook and two very slow games a week against a random Chessmaster personality has really helped illustrate some of the weaknesses in my game. I’ll be working to correct those weaknesses over the next two months in preparation for my first tournament.

I also did eighty-eight tactic problems on Level 20 in CT-Art. I’m doing a lot better on Level 20, now that I’ve worked a few of them.  In addition to correcting the above weaknesses, I’m going to try to be done with Level 50 by my first tournament.
