			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have finished the exercise I proposed in <a href="http://wp.me/peX31-ey">Pt. 1 of Finding the Master Within</a>, and below are my results:</p>
<p>1. I played over 3 random games from each of the masters on the <a href="http://wp.me/peX31-ey">list</a>.</p>
<p>2. I gave myself a 0 for needs work, 1 for average, 2 for good, 3 for very good and 4 for outstanding.</p>
<p>3. I averaged the scores for the three games, and gave myself an overall score.</p>
<p>4. I will now begin reviewing  in detail, the games of the master with which I have the most affinity.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://beginchess.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/master_exercise.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-917 alignnone" title="master_exercise" src="http://beginchess.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/master_exercise.png" alt="Master Exercise Results" width="450" height="463" /></a></p>
<p>In my case I scored an average of 2.67 when playing over Tarrasch&#8217;s games, and the second runner up was Karpov with a score of 2.0. I observed that I did better with the more positional / classical style players than with the more modern / dynamic styles.</p>
<p>I will continue to go over master games strictly focusing on Tarrasch&#8217;s games using Guess the Move, and then compare my annotations with his annotated games collection( <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1880673185/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=dotbuzz-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=1880673185">Three Hundred Chess Games</a> ).</p>
