Chess has been a part-time passion for me, for a couple years now. It has enveloped my spare time, and is one of my favorite pastimes. However, in the last couple weeks, I have been slightly bogged down. In my last tournament, I had a won game, but I blundered in the endgame. After that game I completely botched the next one. I have found, I can't seem to get the positions I want, and can't seem to calculate long enough.
This has been really depressing lately, so I have decided to stop most of my tournament activity and focus on my chess game.
First, I wanted to make some goals:
- I want to get my online rating over 1700
- I want to get my tactics rating over 1700
- I want to finish the "Silman Endgame Book" and pass all of the tests
- Know all of my openings like a grand master
- Learn blind chess
The final goal is to focus on my calculating in chess games. The better you can play blind chess, the easier it is to calculate positions.
As a schedule, I want to do at least 10 tactics on chess.com. Then, study one section out of the Silman book. Last, work on my blind chess by playing a blind game with myself.
Please comment if you have any ideas on how I can improve my goals or my schedule.
