Like the blitz format you list and good for you for playing what feels right to you. Similar I have started going through the Steps method at level 1. Really enjoying this and catching good information that I have missed along my path. The puzzles are solid and surprisingly I enjoy doing them on paper as it feels different than online tactic trainers. I also feel this method offers tactics in a way that is missed in other resources I’ve tried. Look forward to the process with the steps progression. Thanks for your blog journey
Thanks for sharing and encouraged that you are enjoying level 1! Look forward to sharing notes as we make progress!
Hi David,
I really like your "having fun" mindset (in fact, I recently wrote about that on my Substack, in Italian): I think this whole adult improvers business too often forgets that sometimes we just need to relax and have fun, especially after a long and stressful day.
Cheers,
Girolamo
Couldn't agree more!
