WEEK 4 REPORT
(20-26 May 2012)Received Master of Planning-Nimzowitch from John Wong…thank you very much, you have been very supportive!
Comment from Peter Long on studying standard opening makes me think…maybe I should study opening. For a start not specific line memorisation, the way I used to study opening before, but more of understanding theme…so, maybe starting from Week 6 onwards, I will start studying opening…play against/with isolated queen pawn, minority attack, queenside pawn majority etc.
Watched Anand-Gelfand match…Go Anand Go!
Download Free Chess to my hp! Thanks Kakak.
