well today starting off not very good --down to 163 from 200 yeps ---- playing players who really move fast - need to up my speed in a moves and i notice playing only players above 200 for last 25 games -- not a big deal but a break once in a awhile would be good well off to do yard chores and the honey dew list then will be back after lunch
i have to think speed speed speed in my moves
well up down up down today then down at 144 i am sliping from 163 tomorrow will move faster maybe i can get a little ground running as they say
#1
"keep focus on what wins for me" ++ keep focus on what does not lose for you
"the bullet one minutes games seems to be my target"
++ If you want to be good at 1|0 bullet, then get good at 3|2 blitz first.
If you want to get good at 3|2 blitz, then get good at 15|10 rapid first.
Bullet and blitz are about intuition and pattern recognition.
You cultivate that by playing 15|10 or slower and by analysing lost games.
well went up to 3 minutes games as people said i should went from179 to 103 pretty fast guess that was not a good idea at least in the one minutes games you seem to get lucky once in a awhile 3 minutes games not so much no point going to five min. games for right now
puzzles here are great but they only let you play a couple a day
well will try a few more today at 3 min. then that it for that have agreat day every one
well things are getting worse 29 games tonight not a single win yelps good thing you can't go below 100 well maybe i will try a longer game pattern maybe there is hope there hey what is the record for losses in a row ?????
well another day of just being at 100 -- not a single win -- tried using a opening method read about in book e4/nf3/bc4/0-0/nc3/bf4/re1/re2/qd2/rae1/
the book said that this opening moves will lead you to think about whats next
problem being after 12/13 attempts at this opening not once was i able to complete it not even close -i'll take a break and wait till after supper i will try another opening move someone else claims is the answer to me seeing the light (ha ha )- am starting to get a dark picture that my time at chess is coming to a end -- if i don't come up with some opening move that even against (100-125 range) other players works
well after supper i tried another different opening move and just like before after 20 games i stopped without a single move past 20 in any game --- at least the three puzzles they let me play is fun thinking about just doing puzzles for awhile so i don't just give on chess and go back to nl poker well the heat of the day is coming into the pool i go for awhile
later today after losing 15 in row this morning -- going to try just to get by move 15 to 17 as my goal maybe that would be less depressing to play if i just lower the standard to win --once i get to 15 /17 move I'll consider it a win-------- any thoughts on that approach????????
well my new goal to get to move 15--- worked 7/10 times - the other three times i just lost my queens through stupid moves on my part -- well there is always tomorrow -- maybe 8/10 might be the goal we will see off to watching my shows -puzzles all done for the day also - 2/3 right
well minor success today --- all games i made to move 20 or better against better players -- well really everyone here is better-- but 150 200 239 players etc i made it to move 20--- so minor improvement made i think -- later after may chores or shall we call it the honey do list - i will be back to see if i can improve on the 20 or at least be consistent in number of moves i get till i get defeated
good day so far -- 15 games made it to 20th move in all of the games except one -- didn't win any but did get a couple of time out wins i don't count those after i am done my honey due list and go the beer store to resupply -- i will be back later this morning will try to get to 25 moves in a couple of games -- the light is very very faint in the tunnel end -- at least its not completely dark as before
well just so so tonight -- 15/17 games i made till 24 moves- no wins as usual- except 2 games for time out wins but again i don't count those as wins really - 3 min games are fierce can't seem to break the mold i set for myself - need to get to 30 moves even 25 moves on a regular basis - well as scarlet saids - there will be another day
well stable at least about 133 for last two days up and down but i end around 133 with ususall 20 moves -24 moves in my games --win one lose one - on to the afternoon after my chores--sorry honey due list completed
I do kind of like bullet chess but I'm not too good, seems luck more than judgment at best , I guess if I memorized some openings it would make a difference.... Just working on principals rather than specifics on rapid, seem to get better at slower chess.... Good luck with your games 👍.
well this morning things going well up to 144 score now winning the 3 min game more often then lose but just barely 2/3 ratio but when i lose it always past move 25 so one goal meet so far
well today i went over 200 first time for that -- need to keep focus on what wins for me and what doesn't the bullet one minutes games seems to be my target i will now try this weekend to get to 229 - without losing too much ground ---
