One of the ideas behind this blog was to provide a structure for improving my chess. One of the problems I'd encountered before was the lack of structure in any of the time I could devote to chess. Over the summer I haven't fared a great deal better.
What is focussing my mind at the moment is the arrival of not one, but both ficture lists for the two clubs I play for and a request to let them know my availability.
Now is not the time for learning I suspect. I'd probably be much better off immersing myself in some "find the mate/combination/fork/trap" puzzle book.
