The Quest Gets Serious

July 9, 2020 By Mike Leave a Comment

A few months back I got serious and hired a coach, IM Luis Coelho. He and I are working on endgame technique, opening repertoire for white and black, and studying games together. My goal remains to achieve at least a FIDE Master rating.

I have not been following a particular study schedule as I want to “feel” what I am studying that day, but despite what coach says, I feel super disorganized this way, so I am likely going to plan on some basic tactics study daily along with a review of openings 2 times a week. The rest will be as it feels right. This means that if there is nothing specific scheduled ona day, I will study what feels right to me that day. It could be endgames, master games, etc.

I also plan to publish more of my games here on the site. I will probably annotate a fair amount and have just game scores on a fair amount. I hope you enjoy following my progress.
