STP and more.

This is how I spent my chess time last week.
How am I doing on the STP Chess System so far?
I just finished my second week on the STP system. I’ve committed my chess time for 21 days as a test run. Fourteen days down and seven more to go. I’m doing good on the regularity issue, but the balance needs more work.
As to the analysis thing, I now analyze my games on the fly, so to speak. I’m trying to not be so hasty with my replies, since most of my games are three days per move.
I’m also joining more tournaments as I learn how to manage my playing schedule. But don’t expect me to play a hundred games all at once. I don’t want to lose my patience.
I’ll keep you posted.
Here is a cool game from Paul Morphy, complete with loads of sacrifices.
