Hitting on some material that's obviously not in my head, so my trend on solve % is dropping. I notice that a lot of my mistakes involve making moves that lead to draws when there is a win available.

I'm not spending a whole lot of time. The positions appear to be "either you know it or you don't"-type positions. I try to calculate when I can, but it seems to boil down to whether or not I have the right idea. For example, in some of the more complex positions the winning method involves an "end run" by the king around a certain part of the pawn structure to secure the win. So, my approach is to get the idea in my head. Now, if my scores don't improve on the 2nd circle, I'll know this approach is wrong. For now, I just plan to solve them as quickly as possible without just guessing at the solution.
