I have finished my twelve circles of CTB problems 241-360 and am now moving on to problems 361-480.
Sadly, I have to say that during the course of doing this set of problems in particular, my PlayChess rating has dropped by 150 points. This is very discouraging to say the least, but I’ll stick with it. I’m considering doing one circle of problems 121-240 every day to somehow compensate for this.
I’m sorry about that =\
I’m getting nice results, but i’m doing only 20 exercises/day.
When I do more than 40, my level of play decrease, I get too tired to play well…
Maybe this information can help! =]
During my first 2 sets I had a rating spike of around 225 points. I think what I was studying in this set is what was killing me (draws and rare sacrifice opportunities.) Such things rarely occur in my games, so that’s probably what happened.
