Chess is good for teaching patience, though _learning_ chess maybe not so much. I know the hardest thing I'm dealing with right now is resisting the impulse to move on to the next shiny thing. For a game that essentially hasn't changed in a couple hundred years, it's amazing how much you can spend on new things for and about it.
I do feel like I'm playing better, but the consistency still hasn't come. Considering I've only started this journey back into the game two months ago, I really shouldn't expect anything else.
Tonight, get three more standard-rated games on ICC, tomorrow, start the STTourney for June. Or, that's today's plan. It hasn't yet met the family, and we all know what happens to personal plans when families get involved...
Checked out a couple more books at the library: Pandolfini's Winning Way, and Alekhine's Best Games 1908 - 1937. I'll futz with them for a while.
