Week 10-12 Plan
My plan for these weeks was to work on basic endgames. I did this by re-reading Silman’s Complete Endgame Course. I actually worked on studying it on Chessable so I could use spaced repetition to learn the concepts. I have read the physical book. I got through Part 4: Endgames for Class C (1400-1599).
The Chessable format is OK, but not perfect. However, it is better for me than most other approaches.
My Chess Improvement Score

My scores these weeks were around 1.4
I really could have done much better with my focus.
Reflections
These weeks were tough for me to stay focused on chess improvement. I did the minimum amount because I was working on other hobbies and work was pretty busy. A big part of that was that I did not have a good plan to stick to, so it was hard to figure out what I was supposed to do each week.
Next Week
Next week I’ll be starting some positional work, starting with refreshing my memory on pawn weaknesses.
