Many thanks for that, FlorianMinges. I’d resigned myself to scoring about 1 point in Names! I’m pretty sure I’d concentrate on just the first name - which I find hard enough - as you suggest.

That said, it would be nice to improve my Names discipline. It’s by far my worst. I must put more work into it.

With regard to the above competition disciplines, does anyone know if there is a website training resource for historic dates? Ie - the sort of thing we have here with cards, numbers etc where dates can be thrown out for you to remember?

_Here are some resources for practicing historical dates:_

- [Memocamp](https://memocamp.com/en/anleitung/daten-merken)
- [Standard Memory](http://www.standard-memory.com/) (new set of dates every 24 hours)
- [Asia Memory Sports Alliance](https://www.asia-memory.org/events.php?id=7) (old competition papers)

Good luck 🙂
