New training regime for 2015

Well, my grade is sure to go down again this January.  I have not been practising quite as much lately and will turn over a new leaf this year!!  My chess tempo tactics rating is currently just over 1600, but I am looking to improve this by doing at least 25 chess tactics problems per day.  I will lay off the blitz  for a while .... and get some earlier nights.  Have been playing blitz until 3am but this is damaging my chess ...  For improved strategy I intend to go through Chess Strategy for Club Players - Herman Grooten.  I must furthermore, concentrate on my notes from the International Chessmasters School.

1648 ELO achieved

It's been over 6 months since my last post ... so here is a update. According to July 2014 ECF chess grades my new chess grade is 131 ECF or converted = 1648 ELO. That is over 50 points higher than what it was in January, so I am on the right track but I still have a lot of work to do ... I lost my first game of this season to a simple bishop fork, gifting my opponent with a vital extra pawn, and after that he crushed me! Undeterred, I will take on my next opponent this week !! Overall I need 102 more ELO points before December 2014 :)
