This is my first post about Project World Class (PWC), but I've been working at it for some time. I'm currently in Phase 1, which means my focus is on getting my DMP PR down to 5.0.
My PR is currently 5.19 after 599 1-point matches against XG. I recall it being around 7 when I started this project a few years ago, but that's misleading since I stopped playing for a couple of years and only began again recently.
Since I resumed my focus on DMP, my PR has dropped fairly rapidly from the mid-6s to where it is now. In the past couple of weeks, progress has slowed noticeably and I think this last bit is going to be a bit of grind. My initial goal of reading a PR of 5.0 seems like a good one -- attainable, but requiring some effort.
My study consists primarily of playing and reviewing a lot of 1-point matches against XG. Now that I have the blog up, I hope to post some analysis of positions I have trouble with or find instructive. I also need to nail down my DMP openings and responses.
Opening play is something I've been lazy about. I've absorbed a lot of it through reviewing my XG matches, but you can go a long time between seeing a given opening/response and there are still a handful that stump me when they come up. I hope to take a more systematic approach to openings here on the blog, but that is the kind of tedious work that I have trouble following through on, so we'll see how it goes.
