Burning Castles: June 2008

http://burncastleburn.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html

A documentation of an addict. Sunday, June 15, 2008. Do it, so I started pushing his king against the edge. I could already taste the sweet taste of "I told ya so" after showing him how wrong he was to even dare to suspect I couldn't mate him with a king, knight and a bishop! So what went wrong?

Burning Castles: August 2008

http://burncastleburn.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html

A documentation of an addict. Monday, August 04, 2008. KQ vs KR Mating Tutorial, Part 1 - Philidor's Position. I think the time has come to try putting it all into a tutorial. Or a series of posts, as the ground to cover is just too much for a single post. It would no doubt fill a small book, and I'm not gonna go. Deep into it. Just the essentials which will allow you to figure the rest out, just like I did. So why should you do all this work? Board, diagonals, individual squares and the colour of them&#...

Burning Castles: February 2008

http://burncastleburn.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html

A documentation of an addict. Monday, February 04, 2008. I've been playing 5 0 blitz on FICS and ICC pretty much daily now, and it seems like it's starting to work out for me. I'm currently 1447 on FICS and 1431 on ICC 5-minute, and feel quite solid. Naturally there's the occasional dive below 1400, but it always bounces back. So, what's changed? I've also gotten better at making. Another thing I've learned is to not force attacks when there isn't one. Just do a sane move instead, and let the opponen...

Burning Castles: January 2012

http://burncastleburn.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html

A documentation of an addict. Saturday, January 28, 2012. CTS: 1613, 116949 problems, 80.6%. Tuesday, January 17, 2012. Some time ago I returned back to Chess Tactics Server after years of absence. So far I've done a few thousand problems, and am getting back into the groove of things. At first it felt a little weird after the ICC problem set, but I guess it went surprisingly well considering the length of the break. Why study tactics at all then? CTS: 1615, 114406 problems, 80.4%.

Burning Castles: July 2008

http://burncastleburn.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html

A documentation of an addict. Thursday, July 10, 2008. Rook Endgames, Phase I. So now I have all the positions in a chessbase database, even the 'untrainable' ones for completeness' sake. That way it's easy to load them up into Fritz (tools/options/training/endgame training), and use them instead of the pathetic default positions in the endgame training module. Sounds like a practical way to combine two drills, so maybe I'll just do that. it can't be. Hard, can it? Friday, July 04, 2008. That'll have to ...

Burning Castles: ICC 5-minute 1705

http://burncastleburn.blogspot.com/2011/06/icc-5-minute-1705.html

A documentation of an addict. Thursday, June 23, 2011. Another year, another hundred points. As usual, I haven't been training much if at all. Just playing blitz, nothing else. And also as usual, I've had some lengthy periods of inactivity during the year. Doesn't seem to matter much though, it all comes back in just a few days after a break. That's about it really. See you next year at 1800. ICC 5-minute: 1705, 2414 games, 1183, -1185, =46. It is best for loading in a lot of games, to your brain, to tes...
