If anyone is interested in honing his tactical skills, I can recommend the website

www.chesstempo.com

It is very similar to the tactics trainer on chess.com, but the basic version is free and you have no limit on how many problems you can solve. The best thing to me personally is that you can choose the standard mode and ponder on a problem for as long as you want if needed.
At chess.com there were instances where I recieved an Elo deduction despite solving the problem correctly because I had to think longer than 1 or 2 minutes...shakehead

Well, RB#2 is finally done... How 'bout we play a RB#4? I would only play with a one-day-timeout to make everything finish in a reasonable amount of time.

I am a bit burnt out on chess right now, but will happily set up one for others if there is interest

just had a really pretty fork going on in a C-chess game ... royal fork planting the knight (that was defending my weak f-pawn) on a square only defended by a pawn thats unfortunately pinned to the king by my Queen that had just dropped back from a few turns of mexican standoff between the queens
