Over-worked Pieces and Removing the Guard
These make up my next theme to conquer with the 7 circles approach. I finished up my 7th circles of Discovered Attack, Discovered Check, and Double Check at lunchtime today. Reflecting back on those, they included some real mind-benders. There were many solutions that were 7 to 10 moves (14 - 20 ply) long. There appeared to be much more of those in those chapters than in the previous ones I had studied on pins, forks, and double attacks.
Anyhow, I'm 42% through with the Reinfeld book, but I plan to do some knowledge consolidation after I make it all the way through. Although, I technically would be able to consider myself an MDLM graduate once I make it all the way through the book, because I'm doing 7 circles at a time on chapter groupings, I won't. After I finish the book, I will split the book into 4 chapter groupings and do 7 circles of those. Then, I will split the book in half and do 7 circles of those. Finally, I will do 7 circles of the entire book, the 7th circle of which will take place all in one day.
Then, I will consider myself as having earned the title of MDLM graduate. This should all be completed by mid-May.

How many problems does the Reinfeld book contain? Do I remember it right that you are the Knight who talked about overlearning?
I'm probably that very knight! The Reinfeld book contains 1001 problems. Just perfect for the MDLM circles program.
So you are going through the book the old way.. A while ago I downloaded the positions from Reinfeld's book and tried to use them in Chess Position Trainer. However, I never got that far (I'd have to key in all the variations).
Some time ago there was discussion on CPT -forum about Reinfeld and I thought it might interest you.
