Second week's grade

Well, time to grade the second week's worth of training. Its a couple of days late, but better late than never! This week's grade: C+

I got a lot of things done. Made good headway in my book. Started using ChessMaster. Even played a few games against Fritz. I haven't been getting my three games a day in on the PlayChess though. I'm still finding it hard due to the kids and everything. The interruptions are killer on the concentration. But I still think that I'm much more mentally prepared than I was for the first tournament.

Now to just get the money straight. While the entry is only $10 at the door, this little excursion is going to include a hotel stay, meals for my wife and I, and shopping for the Mrs. while I'm playing. So as you can see, it could be an expensive weekend!
