Additional info:
It is said that the great Akiba Rubinstein used to divide the year in three parts: 300 days studying, 60 days playing and 5 days resting. I do not pretend to do the same, first, because chess is not to me what it used to be and, second, because I am a person of eclectic interests (Ars longa, vita brevis).
I shall play 6, maybe 8 games at a time, no more. I prefer quality.
Last but not least, my favorite chess masters of all time: Morphy, Steinitz, Nimzowitsch, Capablanca, Rubinstein, Petrosian, Botvinnik and Fischer.
