Winter 2011-12 training and games

NOTE: I am using Chess.com for my primary blog entries, and am using this blog for occasional summary posts... I also use Chess.com for much of my training (tactics, videos, chess mentor classes, blitz to practice openings, and slow correspondence games).

I am slowly starting to use my new training regimen:

This winter I played one Tuesday night at the Cape Coral Chess Club (Cape Coral FL):

At Cape Coral Chess Club, I also learned about the SouthWest FL Chess Club (Naples FL):

I played at SWFLCC during the January 2012 Swiss tournament on Saturdays. I was traveling a lot, but managed to play on two Saturdays (one rated game each) for a total of two rated games, and a third Saturday for some casual games. Following are the two rated games played at SWFLCC. I used Chess.com to enter the games and annotation and post to a blog entry:
