Circles finished!

Yup that's right! Sorry I've been absent for awhile guys. I lost my job and have had trouble getting access to the internet. However, I did manage to finish the Seven Circles and am glad to say that I now belong under the 'Knights Victorious' so update your bars Tacticus Maximus!

Also, I've been kicking some major butt on Chess.com. When I made my last post, my rating was 1545 on Chess.com and I was getting my butt royally kicked! Since then, I've played 20 games and only lost 4. My rating is now a whopping 1708! This is pretty big for me considering I never thought I'd make it this far. However, one of my games doesn't look like it's going too well for me at the moment so the rating will probably drop back into the 1600's. We shall see!

***UPDATE***
Chess.com rating is now 1750!

Another one bites the dust!

So I've officially finised Circle 4. I was supposed to finish it last night but I've been a little behind(about one hundred problems behind) due to poker tournaments at Bodog and PokerStars. Anywho, after much frustration and near tears, I have finished Circle 4. I must say that I'm highly impressed with my Circle 4 results. I did MUCH better than Circle 3 which is was expected but not by such a large margin. I also find it a little odd that i finished Level 90 problems third best out of all of them. Very odd indeed.

I finished with an overall success rate
of 64%, which according to the Petrosian school of chess, I should be playing at master level haha. Yeah I know, what a joke lol.

Anywho, here's my results for Circle 4. I'm going to take about an hour break and then drill Circle 5.
