Getting Started

Lasker said he could take an average person spend 100 hours teaching him chess and make him a master. (paraphrased). During my first serious year of chess, I've tripled that time on chess improvement this year. Although I have had fun and have learned alot, I didn't improve as much as I would like. This blog is a chronicle of my improvement trek.

I hope in this blog to help

1) bring my chess improvement program additional structure
2) accelerate my chess learning
3) chronicle things I have learned in chess
4) serve as a measuring stick (inspect what I expect)
