Day 207 / 158 to go

Lommering is really no fun... but I am pretty convinced that it is an important part of my training, helping me to increase visualization and calculation abilities. Hence, I did two Lommers (actually 4, but two were about how to hold the draw against two knights - not really challanging and somewhat not really in the spirit of a real Lommer).

Then I got a bit lost playing around and getting acquainted with a new "toy": Forward Chess.  Thanks, LvD, for mentioning this to me! It seems to be a pretty handy way of reading books via tablet (or even mobile phone) - offering nice features like an engine and a board next to the text...  Should I mention that I actually not only downloaded the app, but bought a book?! So it looks like my purchase of one of these posh SurfacePro´s is finally adding some sort of value...

Besides this little getaway I went back to one variation I played during the Korbach Open and used the MegaDB plus Komodo to work out the most suitable variation/moves which I then hammered into CPT.

So just like yesterday, I can fairly call it a day!
The plan for the coming days, however, is to get back to the more classical "Lommer + PAT-training" (currently using Smith´s Pump up Your Rating)....
