Just decided to give a structure to my chess practice sessions, and at the same time start a blog about it to publish my results and get more motivation to push through. I'm a returner to chess - played competitively in my childhood, but then dropped it for around 10 years, although it always remained as a hobby in my life. I'm currently around FIDE 1900 and would like to reach FIDE 2000 in the upcoming two years. I have limited time to practice now as I'm a fresh dad, but still want to give a try. : )
I feel that the most I can improve on in my freetime is my chess calculation, so therefore I decided to try the Woodpecker method - I'll work on my 1st cycle in the next four weeks. I'll also allocate some time to Yusupov's Building up your chess as I really like the structure and topics in the book.
Below is the plan for the first week, and later on I'll get back here to let you know my results and experience.
