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...

chess and choir: Victory!
http://koorpret.blogspot.com/2005/06/victory.html
Friday, June 03, 2005. Tonight I've finished my 7 circles. 1680 problems in 83 days. Now I can sleep again on decent times, do something in the house, feed my pets and husband with home coocked meals, do some trout fishing, see the sun again, (is it still hanging there? Hang out with my choir friends and have a beer after singing, instead of running home to do my circles. I think I have family somewhere, I hope they did not forget me. I feel like a chess-junk, I do even dream of chess positions. King of ...

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.

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.

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,...
