But hopefully the busyness will end soon and I can focus a bit more on trying to actually play. I have been keeping up my tactics on ChessTempo. I'm not sure I'll hit my goal of 620 problems this month. I'm 100 short right now with two days left.
I'm 12 games behind in my goal to play 52 games this year. I've not been able to get to the computer in time to find long games Tuesdays and Thursday nights ... there have been so many football practices, band concerts, science projects, scout activities that have caused me to be late getting home ... and then I've got to help get the kids to bed. But, as I said, hopefully things will simmer down and I'll be able to log onto FICS at 6pm (FICS time) to find a 60 5 game. In the mean time, if any of my readers want to schedule a Saturday or Sunday game with me, please let me know - post a comment or shoot me an email at rockyrook at hotmail.
Also - I'm thinking I might leverage Chess At Work (Red Hot Pawn) to play more games and have those games count toward my 52-game goal. So if you play CC on that site, let me know and we can play there too.
The Lone Star Open is coming up in a few weeks and I plan to play in the U1800 section. Let me know if any of you will be playing in that tournament.
