When I played online poker, I kept fastidious track of personal bests and worsts, finding the statistics fascinating. Very often they were the focal point of my blog posts. I predict the same will be true for my online chess career :-)
Last night, the night after I set a new personal worst for losses in a session (11), I set a new personal best for wins in a session (9). As I mentioned before, I expected to do better last night than the night before since I knew I'd be playing weaker players as a result of my fallen rating. This brings up an interesting question: if you lose to the people you're supposed to lose to, and beat the people you're supposed to beat, how do you ever raise your rating? There can be only one answer. You have to beat the people you're supposed to lose to; it's as simple as that :-)
