2000 Games in 366 days

No, not playing that many...

Dan Heisman, in his "Novice Nook" column on ChessCafe.com (it's near the bottom, in the Q&A section), thinks going over 2000 annotated games is needed to improve. Seems like a reasonable goal to shoot for in a year. It's about 5 1/2 games per day, and if they're gone over quickly, that can easily be done. So, that is my latest goal; 2000 games in 366 days (2008 is a leap year!), March 1st 2007 to February 29th 2008.

I'm already behind. Yesterday I went over two games at Chesspublishing.com (highly recommended, BTW), so I need to do nine today to catch up. No problem.

I have many sources, from game collection books, annotated games online (the new USCF site is even decent for that), back issues of "New In Chess", etc. If anyone knows of more online sources, please let me know.

I'll keep you posted.
