I worked on check mate puzzles per Attila. I spent 1.5 hours tonight working puzzles writing the solutions in a notebook. We discussed during on training session on Sunday to work on puzzles to help with the calculations. I have found that my calculation is lacking.

To do: I still need to analyze my game with Simon that I played last Monday.

Today I didn't go to the Coronado chess club. I was too tired from the long day on Tuesday and today was very full. My thoughts were to work on How to Reassess Your chess specifically on the Knights chapter test. After completing the test at the end of the chapter I started going through the solutions. Unfortunately  I found that I missed most of them-not understanding the positions and how the knight was key.

I am going back to focusing on my How to Reassess your chess in order to structure my study. Tonight I spent about 1 hour on The Bishop test on page 75. When I get back on Sunday, I'm going to work on a detailed study plan.

I've had a full week with work. I worked on about 6 puzzles at dinner thinking that I would go to the Chess Club. I did feel much like playing so I cut it short tonight.

Today was a very busy day as we were getting ready for Joseph's Eagle Court of Honor. I did get a short bit of time to study a few puzzles in the morning. I worked on about 5 puzzles in about 30 minutes.

I played 4 games of blitz. I won half of them.

I also looked through an endgame book on pawn endings.
