help

Please can someone please tell me how or why I am close to 1500 in tactic trainer yet my rateing is a current 1190 and dropping from 1365 or something?

I wish I had the time to study more, a few mintues here and there, reading parts of blogs, articles even the short amount time spent in book store going thru chess books is not working for me. If some one has any ideas on how a busy person can study more while rasing a four year old son and working, please let me know.

    Teichman said chess is 99% tactics. At the 1000-1400 level, it's 99.9% tactics. Wink

    But I agree it's good to know opening principles and the rook & queen mates.

    We need Sharp Tactics as often, as we can afford our Time and Brain to Joy it!

    Well, I train while raising a 3-year-old daughter. I get up earlier and (usually) go to sleep later. I keep a tactics book by my bedside. ;)

    And the Aging Problems grow even more fast, than the rating of games!

     We cannot stop the Aging! We have to Accommodate our Life with our expectations, Dreams and the Activities List, as well...
