Before you even mention it, I know I missed b1=Q in the end. Horrible. Anyway, this was an immensely interesting game in the mad Anti-Moscow Semi-Slav!
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 game was very interesting. A sort of theoretical Anti Moscow Semi Slav. An opening in which black gets a pawn, but white gets tons of active play for it. And this game lived up to the expectations of the opening.
Here is today’s game:
