It's the same loop for me in chesstempo, my only hope is to sneak in and grab a few more points in the comeback. it goes in circles. of course this happens in the course of like 10 days, as I only solve one or two puzzles a day.
As a sidenote - I have not had the time yet to read that whole article - I like this, from Korch's blog too:
EPIC FAIL
A few minutes ago I totally failed in Chess Tactics Server - during 10 minutes I dropped my CTS rating approx. 100 points. It's really horrible result.
That is about what I do too these days, log in, lose zillions of points in the first tries and then try to recover, I am sure I am not the only one 😛

It seems to me that his argument against Dorfman' s thesis at that excellent article has to do mainly with Dorfman's innability to cope with the reality, and on the other hand with the fact that everybody, regardless of his level, has always to learn more about the Immortal Game -and to do so one has to be open-minded.
I love Dvoretsky, but the article bothered me because he disparaged Dorfman. I don't know enough disagree with either one of them, but I read both of Dorfman's books, and I think they really helped my chess, especially in terms of assessing a position. Dorfman was Kasparov's trainer and second for a good amount of time, so the guy can't be that far off of things. IMHO, anyway.
Originally posted by black beetleIndeed, it seems Dorfman was full of garbage and Dvoretsky simply refutes him. I'm waiting for the same to be done to Silman about his "dream position" theory, where you're supposed to dream about a position first, and then try to reach it with calculation. It's utter garbage in my opinion.

There are some question marks around Dorfman's betting ...[text shortened]... o play the Soviet Championship, the first league, and he came back after game thirty-two.
