2014 - A new start !

According to the January 2014 English Chess Federation (ECF) listings my new grade is 124 BCF or 1595 ELO.  I need to attain about 150 rating point to achieve my goal of 1750 before the year's out.  If I don't manage this by December 2014 - I'll give myself another 6 months :) after that.

My study regime in December 2013 and January 2014 was:  

Tactics

20-30 intermediate tactical problems per night from Sharpen Your Tactics - Lein and Archangelsky.
or 9 problems from back issues of Schaak Magazine from Holland.

Endings

1 x problem from John Nunn's Chess Endings book.

Blitz

4 x games of blitz chess on chess.com (current grade 1514 ELO)

I had a holiday at half-term and now I intend to resume this study regime!!  Let's see what happens in the next few weeks ...
