Road to Improvement #2

Well the train came off a tracks a bit since my last post. 

 

On May 12th I had total hip replacement surgery. Everything went well and I am almost back to 100% but my training plan get derailed for about 6 weeks. I had intentions to keep up the studying but the reality of trying to recover from surgery and keep up with everything else was too difficult. So I focused on my physical health as needed. 

 

Well I am about ready to get back all it with full focus. I decided instead of trying to go it alone I am going to find a coach. I looked at a few different coaches and found one that looked good for my needs. My first lesson is this Wednesday the 22nd. 

 

Aside from that this week I am going to get back to drilling tactics and I might play a few 30 minute games before Wednesday so I have some fresh games to review. I also see the doctor again on Wednesday and expect to get a full clearance to return to work next week. 

 

I write about my experiences trying to go from beginner, to tournament player and maybe someday expert or master. I post many of my own games usually losses I can learn from. I also share my plan to improve at chess.
