First Circle of Hays Complete

Today I finished the first circle of the Lou Hays book Winning Chess Tactics for Juniors.

534 problems in 24 days!

Best chapters were knight forks and discovery, but the worst ones for me were some of the more vague ones like "attraction" and "clearance".

Now the next circle is the same set in 14 days. (The idea is to do the seven circles in 60 days.)

Hopefully I should recognise at least some of them or work through the second circle a little quicker than the first time.
