Rationale for this Project


Summary of Progress during October - December 2024
  1. I spent 32.5 hours in 24Q4 on this Project, or related work (32.5 hours YTD, where for "YTD" - Year to Date - I mean the (academic) year that commenced in October 2024). That's 62.3% of the planned effort (62.3% YTD). Overall, 4.3% of my Project effort in the Quarter was directed towards this project (making 4.3% YTD) - as against 6.5% planned (6.5% YTD).
  2. I had scheduled 4 hours / week in 24Q4 but I only spent just over 60% of the allocated time to play a little on-line chess, but mostly to get to grips with "Grigoryan (Avetik) - ChessMood", which I’m really enjoying.
  3. I have completed the ChessMood Endgames and Tactics courses. I had completed about 1/3 of the Puzzles related to the Tactics course but decided to focus on Openings. I’d completed the course for White openings last Quarter and completed those for Black this Quarter. I then moved on to the Mating Matador Course, which is fun.
  4. I’ve also continued to play the weak Bots on Chess.com as a way of improving my alertness. Unfortunately, it exposes my uselessness at opening theory – I can’t remember what I’ve supposedly learnt.
  5. So, when I’ve completed the Mating Matador Course I’ll need to repeat the ChessMood Openings courses a few times to allow them to sink in. Eventually, I’ll start playing properly on-line.
  6. I spent an hour with Tommy on the ChessMood Tactics course. It was OK, but his concentration isn’t up to it at the moment. Maybe in a couple of years, or if he really gets the bug.
  7. Further details follow (for the latest Quarter: 24Q4):-
    Chess (Total Hours = 32.5)
    1. Chess - Admin (Total Hours = 2.25)
    2. Chess - Training (Total Hours = 30.25)
  8. Progress (if any) in the current quarter can be obtained from the Chess section of my Summary Task List3.

Plans for the Near Future:
Summary of Progress to Date (since October 2018)
  1. I have now produced statistics similar to those for Bridge6, my Consolidated Results. Follow the PGN links for the actual games.
  2. Also, see what comes “free” with ECF Monthly Rating Database.
  3. Enough of an indication of progress has been given above, though see also my Chess Page7, which requires an update.
