Third set completed
3rd set: Same 400 problems, 4.5 days.
To be fair, this was the fourth time I started the set. My wife and I moved across the country at the end of August, and a week or two prior, I began the run again. I was able to speed through the first 222 (easier) problems, but did not complete the remaining (harder) chess problems prior to the demands of moving made progress unthinkable. After arriving at our new place, I focused on endgames and strategy for a couple of months. This week, tired of that, I returned to Tactics as the main focus.
My takeaway at this point is that the first 220 problems are fairly ingrained and when I make my final one-day run, they will simply provide fatigue. I am likely to make two more abbreviated runs through problems 223-400 however, as many of them are still stumping me. For now, I have earned my "day off" of the set, and will return to the harder problems on Sunday, looking to see how quickly I can progress through them, and how successfully.
