Circle 4, Step 2 Complete

I just barely made it to 97% for all of Step 2 this time. It's nice to get an upward trend for Step 2.

I just checked out One Move Chess by the Champions. It is a collection of mate problems taken from games played by the World Champions v. Amateurs through GMs. I like how it's more talky than most problem collections, especially after spending so much time earlier with Polgar's 5334. It has a brief bit of information on each player, and on each problem they give a subtle hint if your stuck. Mainly it is a relief to go through something like this without any time pressure or percentage recording :-).

Comments:
I never understand why chessbooks have to be so dull. I have a few books of GM Joe Gallagher, which are kind of readable becomes he flicks in some humor every now and then. Ok, chess is about life and death, but a smile shouldn't be forbidden.
 
Well said =).
