FINAL TEST
Where is teh final test of ICS Main module ?
(The End
FINAL TEST will evaluate the positional strength of the student after the 13-month
course. The problems are carefully chosen to be of the same difficulty as of the first test.
Before we let you on your own, we will still give you a set of recommendations on how
you should continue your training (even grandmasters are still studying) and improve
your chess even more.)

I think I got into month four, competed in the world open, and then was burned out and have been for a year now.

Well if you take any longer before you get back on the horse so to speak, you will be facing rust.

Re: FINAL TEST
Too well polished manoeuvers doesn't help either... I though i was not that bad at english symetrical opening, and was having sucess with it.
Great ! My elo raised !
Consequence, now i'm playing higher elo opponents, same opening moves and this doesn't work AT ALL ?!
In that case my solution is to look at GM games with that opening and see what they do, and shamelessly copy their ideas...
By the way, no sign of final test

Re: FINAL TEST
Shamelessly copying GM ideas for your opening lines is only natural -- why re-invent the wheel?! Mind you, I kinda hope I never have to. I am notoriously BAD at memorising openings.

It's eight problem sets, each with separate solutions.
They aren't graded numerically like the first test, but that's it. It looks really good.
Re: FINAL TEST
so, what happened--BlueKnight?--(and others who have taken the test) (hopefully by now--its 2/15/2011!). How was ya alls rating increase? and presumably therefore, the satisfaction with the course?
