Worse than I thought.
Played 5(?) live games today. Pretty sucky play on my end. I need to go more slowly, especially in my last games - my brain got pretty melty and I was making some drop dead stupid moves.
Nothing quite as bad as my first game, but it was still pretty embarassing.
Vague schedule to get ready for Dec 4th tournament - after dinner, do whatever analysis I want to do from previous days games. Read an article. Do the three tactics trainer problems I get for free. From 8-10, just play chess. Annotate any games I want to analyze tomorrow. Daily puzzle, opening, puzzle archive, blog, forums, whatever while I wait for dasHusband to get home.
I should be able to make time for this three, maybe four nights a week. Even if I know I can't make time to play or analyze, I can still work in the tactics trainer every day, by grabbing time at lunch, or whatever. Maybe I can swing my budget to get the membership here, as well as my tourney expenses. Tomorrow I'm off to mall where the tourney will be - check out the venue, visit the shop that sponsors it, get myself a chess clock, maybe a book.
We'll see.
