Plan for 4 years - Page 2 - Chess and Board Game Strategy

OK, here in Germany we're lucky to have open tournaments almost every other weekend, plus a decent club league system. Don't know about the situation in the US or the country you are based in.

There is no way I could possibly maintain that training schedule 7 days a week for more than a 3-4 weeks. I could possibly do 6 days a week for 3 months or so, then slow down to 5 days a week, however, I would prefer to do 6 days a week for 3 weeks then 2 weeks of 5 days a week, then 3 weeks of 6 days a week, then a 4 day weekend, then 5 days a week and then start over again. On my days off, exercise would still be in the game plan but I wouldn't study chess. Play golf or tennis. I'd leave town on the 4 day weekend. Go hiking & live in the mountains.

Say the black B is on d2, Kc2, Be1, Kd3, and he has to play Bb4 Nxb4 cxb4 Kc2! +- or walk away and let a5 happen, so now we have a5 in and K on b7. Play the K back to a4, go eat the g-pawn, and play Ne6. Then play a6-a7 and make him take it. Nxc7, followed by Ne8xd6, and it all falls apart. Ng6 will win more pawns and you roll home.

Well it is not quite as simple, because black bishop can stop the knight's route if it gets to the center in time, so please move by move

I talked with 1Crazy2RuleThemAll last week. He's added to his training schedule which doesn't leave time for forums. One hour a day of porn for stress relief. (5 minutes for actual porn, then 55 minutes of arguing with his mom that even though he lives under her roof she can't tell him what to do with his body).
