At least that's one of my goals.<br /><br />I don't want this to become a dry, technical blog without any human interest in it. I'd rather it be as entertaining to read as it is to write.<br /><br />I have used Chess Position Trainer in the past. I just never took to it for whatever reason.<br /><br />I am convinced that I will figure this out and get on track with my opening prep at some point!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05917471376232837820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6333471751019842768.post-77898788571820283882013-07-08T18:42:02.373-05:002013-07-08T18:42:02.373-05:00I just enjoyed reading through your blog. We'...I just enjoyed reading through your blog. We're about the same age, although I'm much greener than you are. I'm rooting for you.<br /><br />There's a dramatic plotline running through your blog that keeps the reader transfixed: <br /><br />"Oooh, I hope he studies openings this month!"<br /><br />"Drat! He didn't study openings!"<br /><br />Your reluctance to study openings is refreshingly atypical. Why don't you try the free version of Chess Position Trainer? It's wonderfully "to the point" for maintaining and practicing a repertoire. Besides a comments field, it won't help with a verbal description of plans, but that's what Google and opening books are for.<br /><br />Good luck!First Normal Formhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04486145031139699145noreply@blogger.com
