Just a quick blurb, don't want anyone to think that I caught the sniffles. :)
Work has picked back up, plus I'm in the midst of trying to learn some new software that will hopefully make the design process a little easier. It cuts out a ton of the tedious functions that I used to do by hand. Plus anytime in the past someone made a change I’d have to restart from scratch, looks like that is quickly coming to an end.
Still slogging through the Cycles...

Cycle 7 Complete
The Mate-in-3 problems really aren't that hard, not that I would spot all of them in a blitz game or anything. But it does teach one to focus on the squares around the enemy King. Quite a few of them aren't a series of checks which I imagined they would be when I started. Lots of them contain waiting moves or the sealing off of key squares before the final checks are delivered.
Welcome our newest Knight Druss.

Cycle 6 Complete
Little over half way through the exercises, and well over the half way mark for the days/Mini-Cycles. I get my first taste of the Mate-in-3 problems this Cycle. It's going to be fun!
I did find a few errors in the Mate-in-Two problems. But unlike CT-Art, Chessbase will allow you to correct the errors in the database. Cool Stuff.
