But if you consider how few games I was playing at the time I started that goal, 52 games is quite an improvement. Actually, I was playing about one 45 45 game a week as part of the FICS 45 45 league (http://teamleague.org/). And then I played a few OTB tournaments at G/90. I found that I love the longer games much more than the 45 45 games. So, I started my 52 game quest by playing G/90 or 75 15 games. I've been trying to round up people to play every week and it's been working quite well.<br /><br />When I finish my 52 game quest, I may try to go for 100 games over the next year. However, between a full time career, a family with kids in soccer, band concerts, dance classes and church activities, I have very little chess time.<br /><br />I think I answered you questions about slow game leagues on FICS ... there is teamleague as well as the STC Bunch.<br /><br />Hi Tim - yes, the 52 game quest includes tournament games, but I've only done a handful of those (OTB) over the course of the year.rockyrookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04244111671544689660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6425739.post-31040200965132881512012-05-28T01:42:39.700-05:002012-05-28T01:42:39.700-05:00Ra2 was ouch.

No way White can let you have that tasty bishop at e4, I'd trade that sucker for the Kt in a heart beat. 52 slow games in a year is a pretty good amount-does this include tournament games?Tim Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14453322043071827645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6425739.post-79928128999585873802012-05-28T00:37:55.383-05:002012-05-28T00:37:55.383-05:00Hi RockyRook,

Is there any slow game league on FICS?Savaş Külahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03008059288689755083noreply@blogger.com
