One a Day Vitamin

I am trying to hold myself to one chess game a day. Unlike other maniacs that are trying to play down to one a day, I am playing up to it.

The philosophy is that if I can learn one chess thing a day, it is enough. Trying for more might just lead to a diminishing return.

The second part of this is that the game be as slow as possible against the highest rated opponent as possible. On FICS right now I am 1701. For me G-15 is too fast. But I take it if that is what is available.

I am sticking with Jeremy Sillman's starting opening recommendations. It is a sound if narrow path.

On another note, I surprised my wife by taking her to see a covered bridge today. She was delighted, and I am happy.
