Time to get back!

Hello fellows knights, despite the time I was away from chessblogging I made some nice stuff. Finished the 1st tactics module on PCT and started the second, it brought great improvement to my play.

My improvement plan now consists in 2 units of PCT (tactics and strategy), Chess move by move book by Abramov, the Powerplay DVD series (The first is amazing for attacking players, i'm learning how to play some positions and continue the attack), some games on Roman Toran's strategy books and a few rapid games (21 min) on buho21 dayly. It takes me about 3h to finish it, I can't do it everyday (I'm starting a new job and college this week), but I'm doing my best and i'm proud of it! ;)

A new champion was born, congratulations to Nemo, who is a Dad now! Best of luck for you and your family! =] At the age of 3 he'll start "eating" paws hahahaha.

A Brazilian team is doing an amazing job at Europe! They'll be traveling around playing a lot of tournaments and hopefully trying to made GM norms. They are:
GM FIER, Alexandr 2558
IM MEKHITARIAN, Krikor 2504
IM DI BERARDINO, Diego 2471
IM DIAMANT, Andre 2393

You can find more informations here and here.

Go Brazil!

Legal seu blog! Eu tenho dificuldade para me expressar em Inglês, mas consigo ler e entender praticamente tudo.
Gosto de seu estilo e do modo como você encara o xadrez. Aliás, estamos no mesmo barco com relação à aprendizagem, embora eu seja muito mais velho que você...
Ps.: estamos bem pertinho (PN-JF)

Fuçando por aqui ví que vc tem Moura no sobrenome... algum parentesco com o Sr. Eurico Moura e seu filho Pedro Moura?
