Ok, so he's talking 400 days, right?
Initially satisfied with my newly found plan (as mentioned in the "Progress report 1" post), i became unsatisfied with it again. Why? Well, because my newly found plan was about going over each phase of the Personal Chess Trainer seperately. Giving each phase a certain timespan. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but i need to see it as a whole. This only shows it to me in parts. Also, it does not really have that de la Maza structural feeling to it. Or is it just me :) Anyway, i have come up with yet another change of plans. de la Maza is talking 400 days, right? Well, then 400 days it shall be. I am going to attempt to finish all of Personal Chess trainer in 400 training days. I say "training days", cause you might remember me mentioning something about weekends off. Well... There you have it. My new plan. Although it has been under way for 15 days, with a progress report comming up :)

Ofcourse i'm aware of the fact that Maza didn't study all day long, but maybe i should. Cause i am telling you (and i allready realized it at the moment i made this post) i am being too over ambitious again with this new plan. But i am going to give it a try. So do you actually have Maza's book? Is there still much in it not covered by the articles? Anyway, you wanted a review of PCT? Well what can i say? Personally i like it, since it deals not only with tactics alone. Though the tactics make up for most of the program, it also deals with endgame and strategy. What i did notice is that it does not tell you whether you're dealing with a single move tactic or a multiple move tactic e.g. "mate in one" or "mate in two". I was used to that from other programs. But in a way i can appreciate it, since during a game there is also nobody telling you when there is a mate in one or mate in two or whatever. But the best advice i can give you (to see if you like it) is to go download their demo. To be used unlimited. It is only limited materialwise. But you can use it forever. Check it out here. Now, for my previous training plan... You can't find it you say... I know... Finding previous posts can be confusing on blogger. What you should do is click on the September link on the sidebar, under Archives. You will then see everyhting i posted in September. What you see now is only a part of it, since i set it to only show 4 posts on 1 page. But i warn you, my previous plan might be kinda confusing since i wrote it while i was very tired. So it might not make sense :)
