Revision of my program

I am still tooling away at Tasc Chess Tutor (TCT), finally starting a new minicircle of 200 problems after working four mini-circles in the previous set of 200 problems in Step 2. As Temposchlucker promised, it is an excellent program. When all is said and done, I will probably have spent close to a year working through TCT, but I prefer working slowly and remembering the lessons to going lightning fast. I'm in this for the long haul.

I have also significantly updated the Divine Tragedy, adding a new precircle (Seirewan's Play Winning Chess) and two new postcircles. As recommended by Celtic Death and Tempo, I've added a postcircle on endings, in which I'll work through Seirewan's Winning Chess Endings. I've also added, for the coup de grace, a book of master games. As suggested by Quandoman, I will work through A First Book of Morphy. It is an amazing book, with games organized to illustrate opening, middle game, and end game principles. There are 30 principles in all, with a couple of games each. I worked through two of the games this weekend, and the move-by-move annotation was clear and helpful (the first principle is the old chestnut 'Open with a center pawn' and two games are included to show how this is helpful). I am very excited to reach this point, most likely in 20 years or so when my rating should be up to 1010 :)
