DAY 16
-----------
IQ Test - 1:55 <- I made it under 2!
Seven Circles - 1312/1312 1 down, 6 to go :D
Well I learned that I need a LOT of work on my endgame. My ELO dropped more than 100 points in the last 100 problems :(
Anyways, here are my numbers for the 1st merry go round:
CTB Circle 1
--------------
ELO: 1503
Success: 83%
Not bad for my first run, but there is still a lot of room for improvement. In case you were wondering, my real chess ELO is nowhere near that high. I'm probably somewhere in the 1300's.
I'm still looking for a great chess movie and there's a new one available online for your viewing pleasure called the Queen of Cactus Cove. I really liked it, it's a sweet coming of age film about best friends who compete against each other in a chess tournament. There's a lot of accurate chess playing in the movie along with the greatest use of subtitles ever. All in all, it's a very enjoyable way to spend 18 min. Plus this kid was hilarious :D
In conclusion, that up on the top has got to be the ugliest picture I've ever posted on this site.
Enjoy ;)

Nice. That graphic is truly disturbing.
What IS that thing? Is that supposed to be Caissa?
C'est la vie!
I liked Hippo and Dog.
If you're looking for chess movies, don't miss "Luzhin's Defence" based on Nabakov's novel "The Defence". John Turturro plays the main character in this film.
I heart John Turturro
