Chess Vision Day 6

At this point I'm becoming exceptionally bored with doing Concentric Square excercises. Thats not to say however that I'm not finding them valuable. One more week and I move onto "Knight Vision" stuff.

I've also been playing a few games on FICS as usual. I lost a heartbreaker yesterday to a 1900 player. On move 84 in a clearly won endgame I played the 84. ... g4? instead of the correct 84. ... Ke6!.


Sure I get to queen first but I allow white to queen as well. Time pressure did play a roll in the misplay but thats not a good excuse. Clearly I could use some endgame work so that the correct moves come more naturally. The final result after 112 moves was a win for white, I had 8 seconds left on my clock, he had over 6 minutes of a g/30.
