Finished tactics unit 29 (module 1)
Today i finished tactics unit 29 of tactics module 1. Have been speeding up a little. For a while now, PCT has me solving 4 move mate problems. They can be pretty frustrating. I still wonder what kind of excersises PCT will have me doing when i reach the first module of unit 6. 40 move mate problems?? Anyway, PCT does have me recognizing certain theme's or patterns for a while now, so it's definitely paying off...
Let me show you a couple of problems that handle the theme's/patterns i'm refering to. Maybe you like to try them out for yourself.
Black to move (mate in 4). Hint; The theme is called "smothered mate".And another one
White to move (mate in 4). Hint; While i'm not exactly sure what it is the theme is called, it has to do with co-operating Bishops :-)Have fun solving ;-)

Cool. That program looks really good.
I only wish it had more instruction associated with it rather than simply problem after problem.
Sometimes i wish it was different too :-)
But i have made it my mission to complete this program.
You knights are funny. You continue fighting windmills even when it seems not to be working (or to be working less well than you had hoped).... instead of, say, following a flexible plan based on identifying and correcting weaknesses. But hey, i truly respect the diligence and web presence, without which i would not be typing this comment.
But i never said it wasn't working ;-)
And i'm an ex-Knight now...
