This challenge has posed some difficulty for me so far, but I suppose that's why it's called a challenge. Usually I'm used to playing about 5 or 6 games a day, but moving that number to about 9 a day has proven somewhat difficult to sustain. I'm persevering and still driven to complete this challenge.
Though, an unexpected effect has resulted from the necessity for 8/9 games per day; I've found myself somewhat apathetic toward the result of the game sometimes, and thinking, "Well, whatever. Even if I lose it still adds one to the count." And this is bad, so it's a thought I've been fighting off and trying to maintain a desire to win. Without that desire, I'll learn much less from these games, and would probably, by the end of these 1,000 games, have been better off just playing for fun. So, I've been trying to push that thought away when it comes up, and really try to win, and to have fun. This post is titled "Difficulty" to be intentionally generic about what precisely is difficult. It isn't just maintaining the game count and desire to win, but continuing to make daily posts is proving to be too much. The already high volume of shogi games is time consuming enough. But in addition to this, I work a full time job and have other things I have to do. Thus, it is the purpose of this article to explain that I'll be changing it from "Best Game of the Day" to "Game Breakdowns", and will no longer be doing them every single night. It is too much work, and I don't have time for it every night. I still intend to recreate games and do the same extent of breakdowns, perhaps three times a week, maybe more, maybe less. The benefit of this, for the readers is that I won't be forced to pick a game from each day and try to break it down; Not every game has many noteworthy points to explain, and it's unnecessary work. With more time to do them, the quality of my analysis will go up while the volume goes down. And as usual, I'll post an update on Facebook every time a post is made. Thank you for reading. And stay tuned for more. -GinShoNinja
