I completed a seven circles on a set of fairly basic tactics by John Bain, and now I'm doing the same with a book by Lou Hays with 534 problems in it.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with the seven circles of 500!Phil Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00890957710311465231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29356348.post-75089444474202226412007-06-16T07:25:00.000-05:002007-06-16T07:25:00.000-05:00Success with your quest and let's hope that you ca...Success with your quest and let's hope that you can say you've enjoyed it as soon as you have finished it.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://chessteacher.110mb.com/" REL="nofollow">Chess Teaching</A>Chess Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12353441316998065814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29356348.post-84363500235761588442007-06-02T11:46:00.000-05:002007-06-02T11:46:00.000-05:00I feel for you man.I don't know if you do PCT.

Then you are moving forward, as you can.<BR/><BR/>And even if you can't do tactics, play some chess from time to time. That was the point, right?
