http://kingofthespill.blogspot.com/2006/12/which-tactic-is-this-revisited.html
King of the Spill. One chess player's journey from? Saturday, December 30, 2006. Which Tactic is This? Problem 540 from 1001 Brilliant Ways to Checkmate. 2k1q3/p2r1p2/P7/Q6B/8/Kp2r3/8/6R1 w - - 0 1. Note: if you want to solve this checkmate problem first, better stop reading now! I was stuck on this one for awhile and still did not get it right. The two easier variations are 1.Rc1 Rc7? After 1.Rc1 Kb8 2.Qb4 Ka8 3.Bf3! I am now beginning to think I left something out of my Simultaneous Advantage. Removing...

http://kingofthespill.blogspot.com/2006/12/circle-2-complete.html
King of the Spill. One chess player's journey from? Wednesday, December 27, 2006. I am beginning to wonder about these problems. Although they highlight my weak areas, some of the themes are obscure. For instance, how many opportunities do beginning/intermediate players have to use a double sacrifice? That theme is a bit of a mind-bender. Posted at 8:09 PM. Click to see this post's 1 comment(s). We are starting to wonder about these issues. Runescape Gold. That will theme is a bit of your mind-bender.

http://kingofthespill.blogspot.com/2006/12/circle-1-complete.html
King of the Spill. One chess player's journey from? Sunday, December 24, 2006. As I circle through my checkmate problems, I have begun to categorize the themes that come up in the checkmates that I often get wrong. Not on the initial move. Especially not on the initial move. To take away opponent's King flight squares. Forcing opponent's pieces onto his own King's flight squares, especially not on the initial move. Who are not overworked on or after the initial move. These lectures are one of the biggest...

King of the Spill: Circling Around Again
http://kingofthespill.blogspot.com/2006/12/years-after-i-began-it-i-am-approaching.html
King of the Spill. One chess player's journey from? Sunday, December 17, 2006. Years after I began it, I am approaching problem 800 in 1001 Better Ways to Checkmate. I missed a mate in two and took five minutes to see a mate in one. I am consistently going for longer mates or missing crisscross attacks completely. On a more upbeat note it is good to see so many interesting posts on other chess blogs including new Knights - I will add your links soon. Http:/ www.cartier4us.com/. More Down Than Up.

King of the Spill: Simultaneous Advantage
http://kingofthespill.blogspot.com/2006/02/simultaneous-advantage.html
King of the Spill. One chess player's journey from? Thursday, February 02, 2006. Since reading The Mammoth Book of Chess. I have been using Burgess' tactical terminology in puzzling through difficult chess positions. This helps when I cannot understand an answer to a tactics problems, or when get stumped reading annotations comprised of variations with no supporting text. I hope that explaining these to myself "verbally" I will grasp the idea better. Which Tactic is This? Or more of the following:. Of mu...

The Eighth Circle: January 2007
http://poe777.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 21, 2007. Survey: Why do you play chess? Post replies as comments. Answers may be as detailed, simple, serious, or humorous as you like. Monday, January 15, 2007. Beginning: 6 days, 600 problems! Most of the problems were pretty straightforward. A few, however, have inspired hour-long exhaustive explorations into the reasons behind every variation, especially logical-looking defensive moves that the opponent did NOT play. It seems that the "real" tactical program has for me begun tonight,...

Thursday, April 14, 2005. Well anyway it's nice to finally have something positive to report. Also good to see our ranks swell with new members. Welcome all. I'll get around to updating my sidebar soon. Now for some real fun! Tax time. I was all ready to get it done early this year, but of course I didn't get all of the forms until a few days ago. Cheers. Posted by Dave at 7:09 AM. You are very welcome. Glad you folks can put it to good use. Fellow De la Maza Knights. Man de la Maza. King of the Spill.
