Ah The Gloom, The Gloom!

I had a 13 game win streak. I was improving.  the day was going well Ah the gloom! It was:

Week # 3 Day # 6 Rating 1262 + 96 points 13 wins in a row.  that was how the day started. 

But this is the Chronicle of Excheqquer a chronic nonimprover, a static patzer, a languid chess player, an inert blob that stank up the 64 squares, in other words I was stock-still, and my ratings were leaden, and despite giving the Chess.com Study Plan a test. I am still prone to miscalculations. 

And I lost 2 games in a row!

I worked on my puzzles  

Puzzles 1510-1763 

I had finished the : Study Plan Directory - Chess.com  for beginners and I began to have aspirations of greatness.  Was I ready to move on? 

I had joined Chessables and bought Shankland's course for the d4 player. My intention was to use that for opening theory. Do Puzzles for tactics, as well as videos. Strategy I was going to reread  Russian Chess by Pandolfini. For the endgame I do have Silman's book on endgames, which I will continue to work on, as well as Secrets of Pawn Endings. 

I put in the work and then played these blunderfests.

I am still Excheqquer a chronic nonimprover, a static patzer, a languid chess player, an inert blob that stinks up the 64 squares!

Rating 1246  (down -16 points today)  still up 80 points overall ( I guess )
