Still play too fast

Not much progress this weekend.  I still play too fast, and make very stupid moves because of that.

I also try to much to fasten my games by using the iPhone app.  The app is good, the problem is me.  I use it all the time, and often even when I cannot really concentrate and think to find a good move.  It becomes blitz email chess games.  For my own bad.

At least, my total number of games has been significantly reduced.  I now have 32 games in progress on this site, and only 41 on the other site (www.chesshere.com).

This is still 73 games, which is likely too high to really improve, but it is far better than before.  I used to have between 120 and 200 active at the same time.  Interesting to discover a lot of different positions, and keep my mind on chess, but no necessarily a good way to learn and improve my play.

Goal of the week: to simply slow down and think longer before playing.  I should be able to think 2-3 minutes before playing!
