From Weekend Warrior to Chess Monk. How it all started. Summary of Training Achievements. Tuesday, 24 January 2017. Day 297 / 68 to go. Yet another tactic day - with the currently "usual" mixed results. I slipped some 15 rating points at CT-ART based on fat fingers: I simply dropped the piece one square to early two times.
