Simon Williams is running a great series on his Youtube channel playing long time control games (15m+10s). Well worth a watch.

The Pro Chess League was interesting but I didn't watch it often as there was no easy way to just watch one team's games so I couldn't easily track how the Irish team were doing. Hopefully next year each time will have their own page on the site showing just their games.

Started doing tactics exercises on Chessity.com and I'm tracking them here. Will see if this leads to an improvement in my general chess play

Games for the 7th round of the Munster league were backdated in the rating system recently so I had a personal record rating of 1548 in December. Unfortunately the Mulcahy brought that down since.

Started going analysing my old games from Cork Congress 2015. Wish I hadn't bothered! So far seen a game I won that I should have lost, a game I drew that I should have won and a game I lost where I should have drawn.

And now there's a new rating system that's given me an even higher rating!. Cheers to the URS - whoever they are
