Annual Review

A very interesting and imformative blog. Unfortunately I fail on all five points raised about improvement. Something to definitely think about in the coming year!

This post and its discussion of the two games that are being played simultaneously really speaks to me.

I come back to the game daily, sometimes (often!) obsessively, because of the first game: the endlessly complicated and fascinating combinations of positions and relationships, opportunities and challenges contained within the 64 squares of the board.

But the second game often consumes and, frankly, undermines the pleasure of the first game. All of the issues tied up with my ego, questions of why I'm not better, why I'm not improving faster, why didn't I anticipate a tactic or why I missed a tactic, sometimes make it difficult for me simply to enjoy the game.
