Today was another day when I needed to do quite a lot of things and not enough time to do them all. I did update some more puzzles in the morning to mate in ones, twos and threes. Puzzle count is at 158 now in total. Today I also tried to share some of my exceptional chess knowledge with children I sometimes try to teach and usually fail miserably at the attempt. Okay, okay, maybe exceptional chess knowledge is a bit too arrogant thing for me to say. Luckily the people who come to teach the kids rotate so I don't need to go there every week. Or at least they should rotate but the rotation isn't working as planned. In addition to this I need to move in maybe 70-90 games at least every day to have sort of reasonable move times. I have tried to go through both chess.com and RHP games a bit at the same time but that doesn't really work out that great. I should clearly concentrate on both sites on different days as I have planned but rarely I have actually managed to do so. Trying to do that again tomorrow and hoping a bit better results... There is also a possible other major time waster coming a week from now. Some of my time will no doubt take that one MMORPG that has one of its expansions coming out again... So time will be even more divided when the Warlords Of Draenor comes at November 13th 2014... Do not fear though, I still do daily updates even at that date and later on also.
