Chess Training for Improvement. The Website of a Chess Player Seeking Improvement Via the Methods of Michael De la Maza. Thursday, September 29, 2005. Sorry team, I lost the 45 45 game. Thank goodness we at least tied them. I underestimated my opponent. Well, in other news, I started a sort of fitness blog all my own, except that it is dedicated to running! I recommend you check it out! It's http:/ prosperorunning.blogspot.com. Posted by Calvin @ 6:28 PM. Thursday, September 15, 2005. Man de la Maza.

http://generalkaia.blogspot.com/2005_03_01_archive.html

Chess Training for Improvement. The Website of a Chess Player Seeking Improvement Via the Methods of Michael De la Maza. Sunday, March 13, 2005. Day 76 - An Update. Well, 10 days have gone by since I last posted on my site, and I thought that it was high time to post again with an update. I wanted to let all of the knights know that I read each of your posts everyday, but I don't post daily because there isn't much to say chess-related each day for me. Posted by Calvin @ 11:47 AM.

BTW, inspired by temposchlucker and you, I started to do some daily CTS "workout". I just crossed the 1000 tries mark, too, but my ratings are much lower (around 1050).

Chess Training for Improvement: Breaking 1600 at CTS

http://generalkaia.blogspot.com/2006/08/breaking-1600-at-cts.html

Chess Training for Improvement. The Website of a Chess Player Seeking Improvement Via the Methods of Michael De la Maza. Thursday, August 24, 2006. Breaking 1600 at CTS. Well, I was finally able to break 1600 with my huge RD about a week ago. It was exciting until I began to lose points and settle back at my regular 1560-1570. Well, I am going to be teaching chess again this winter, but I won't actually be able to play very much, due to cross country and a big homework load. Posted by Calvin @ 5:39 PM.

Chess Training for Improvement. The Website of a Chess Player Seeking Improvement Via the Methods of Michael De la Maza. Monday, January 31, 2005. I have been fighting my way up the ladder because I joined in late. If I had joined the ladder from the start, I wouldn't have any worries right now, as I would likely be placed in the top 5. 15 hrs. completed, 37.5 total. 1048 out of 1373, 325 left.

Chess Training for Improvement: A Base Rating

http://generalkaia.blogspot.com/2006/07/base-rating.html

Chess Training for Improvement. The Website of a Chess Player Seeking Improvement Via the Methods of Michael De la Maza. Sunday, July 16, 2006. I seem to have established as a base rating on CTS of about 1560. So, I just need to see if I can actually improve on CTS and then transfer that to the chess board! Posted by Calvin @ 9:28 PM. King of the Spill. That's a nice rating for CTS! Now the gap is closed, I suspect the correlation between improving at CTS and improving OTB will be more significant. I don...

Chess Training for Improvement. The Website of a Chess Player Seeking Improvement Via the Methods of Michael De la Maza. Sunday, July 24, 2005. Day 209 - Wins! I have gone on a recent winning streak on FICS, bringing my rating to 1601. I also made a separate widipedia site at http:/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knights Errant. It has the same text as JavaManIssa, but with Knights Errant instead of Knight Errants. Anyways, I would suggest making changes there, if you would like. Posted by Calvin @ 10:19 PM.

Chess Training for Improvement. The Website of a Chess Player Seeking Improvement Via the Methods of Michael De la Maza. Saturday, August 20, 2005. Day 236 - Levelling Out. Well, I will soon be heading into my junior year of high school. I don't know how often I will get to play, butCTS may be the answer for me. We will just have to see how the year progresses, as I have two AP classes and an honors class. Should be a busy year. Posted by Calvin @ 4:30 PM. Monday, August 15, 2005. Day 231 - Better Rating!

Glad to see you back, and thanks for stopping by last week, i think it was. Fyi, my heartrate in near 50 pbm again, having risen from 32 bpm at age 15 when i ran a marathon, and less rich food, to 60 bpm at age 47, but now find it finally falling on a no dairy diet, and much organic vegetables and food, for seven months now.
