1. Evaluate my Game: I feel like my pattern recognition for checkmates isn't bad as so many of the tactics I've done involve checkmates. I'm getting better at recognizing advantages and disadvantages in multiple trade situations, and this is where I win most often when I win. Other middlegame tactics are mediocre at best. I still fail to see tactics in games. Endgames need work, though I'm improving from a pitiful endgamer to fair. Openings are about where they should be. #1 problem is thought process. Playing too fast, not evaluating enough candidate moves or enough lines.

 

2. ID needs: Better tactics, better endgames, better thought process

 

3. Priorities: Finish some specific study materials to where those items I have down cold. Basic tactics, endgame ideas.

 

4. Set Goals: 1500 USCF by year end. (1281 now)

 

5. Action Plan: Daily tactics (at least 10 problems) on Chesstempo
