Back to playing some chess after some time off due to sharing a computer. Since I finally have my own again I've been playing some online correspondence games. I even entered a correspondence tournament. I'm not doing very well in it, but at least it's enjoyable. I am not playing any guitar currently due to some pain in my fretting hand. I'm not sure if it's arthritis setting in or just damage from when I used to bowl, but it has been in pain.
My chess tactics do not seem to be improving. It's odd when looking at my stats on it. Things that I should have down cold I don't i.e. basic checkmates and mate in one, but some of the more advanced things I do much better at. I'm open to any comments or suggestions of getting these basics down cold. I'm already creating a basic checkmate database to go over in the hopes of commiting those patterns to memory.
Things in real life are at least on an even level. Nothing great, but
nothing horrible. Hopefully it can stay that way for a while.
