I had the sometimes helpful and sometimes ruinous Blog Effect doing pull ups today.  I was doing sets of four between squat sets, and then I did a last set of 6 simply because I thought it would look better for the blog if I upped my total by thirty instead of twenty-eight.

I did some dips today as I often do, and I do some pressing.  For me now these can be shoulder killers, and I don't report my numbers there precisely to protect myself from the Blog Effect.

Black to play and win

I got a nice lead-off win for one of my Internet Chess League teams today which you can click though here.
It's a variation of the Noah's Ark Trap, which supposedly got its name from its age.

Do your work and study the classics.
