The training goes on..
I got a little busy lately and didn't have much time for net and chess, but hey, it happens... sometimes real life call us! heheh
Anyway, I'm about to finish Step 4 of TCT and the "Logical Chess Move by Move" book. I'm not quiet sure what to do next, if I get another book to read, or just concetrate on tactics. I was also thinking about using Fred Reinfeld's "1001 Winning Chess Sacrifices and Combinations", just need to see first if it fits my playing level(about 1500 FICS).
Between I found Mousetrapper's posts on "X-Ray vision" quiet interesting. I usually do it when looking for tactics, but just at this time. Will try to use it at every move, let's see if it helps. =)

The Reinfeld book is every bit as difficult as CT-Art 3.0. What you might find frustrating at your level (if you're anything like I was at that level) is identifying and working through the more difficult problems. Unlike CT-Art 3.0, you aren't forewarned when a puzzle has a 7-10 move solution with two critical variations. At least with CT-Art 3.0, when you hit level 50, you know to expect this. That being said, it IS an excellent, although imperfect, book of tactics.

Celticdeath,
Yeah, you're right, some problems are really too difficult for me. I have started working with Polgar's book, and as is just about very forcing sequences(mates) I hope it helps me building a calculation muscle, so next time I try Reinfelds one I don't get that lost.
