Tactics training...

Well, I do not think of myself as an outstanding chess player...far from, but I do have a gripe with the tactics trainer...that little bar makes me feel as though I am in a 2 min blitz match with one of my students. given a few minutes to analyze the board and evaluate the positions I generally come up with the correct move or line...unfortunately there is not a few minutes to analyze a given position.

As a result I find myself making very rash decisions...which likely is the point to teach you how to evaluate things quickly...still I find myself feeling pretty dumb all to often with the speed I am currently at. More practice, more practice, more practice...I suppose I will see meaningful results over teh coming weeks...her is to hoping.
