James - I'd hope so! Maybe another 20,000 might do the trick.
Tim - I've done only 1370 standard problems and have a 71.31% success rate.
I focus on blitz because I want those "fast twitch" muscles in my brain to get the practice. I try to find a balance between doing the problems fast and accurately. So a lot of times, I get the problem right, but lose points b/c I was too slow. I have a special problem set of blitz tactics I got wrong in the last 30 days. So, when I miss a problem, I can easily go back to all my missed problems (after waiting a few days) to practice them again.
But again, the main thing I'm focusing on is that flash board vision - seeing all the checks, captures and threats in a matter of seconds.
That much practice should turn you into a tactical monster in OTB play!
ReplyDeleteWhat's your standard if I may ask?
