Two 15+15 classical training games in which I destroyed the Traxler with Bxf7+ in the first one and the open Tarrasch French in the second!
From now on I’ll be recording training games as often as I can. I have two measurable goals in my training weeks to come. Aside from working on the endgame, strategy, and a new repertoire, I have set a goal of reaching 2300 in lichess tactics and 2100 in lichess classical.
Today’s games were not that challenging to be honest. I managed to win both easily. Both of my opponents messed up in the opening and I didn’t really get tired calculating:)
Here are today’s games:
