Hi Don,

Thought Your comments very good. It seems our aims are similar, as I use different puzzle books (e.g : 300 Positions- L Alburt; Batsford chess puzzles; J Hodgsons travelors chess puzzles etc). But The Amatuers Mind has probabaly helped me the most.
I wonder what the most any adult player who has played for several years can improve once they take up a training plan. Is there a ceiling that however we try natural ability or lack of comes into play.
I suggest maybe a 1600-1700 player may find 1850-1950 would be the most one could improve. I hope someone can prove this is wrong
