A training game in the Exchange Slav which had a maaaaaaajor turnaround, and finished with a very nice pawn checkmate!
My goal is to reach 2100 on lichess classical by the end of September. I didn’t play much the past few weeks, so I still have a long way to go and only 6 days left. So I will pick up the pace now and play once or twice a day. My tournament is coming up, so I need the practice.
I will also be doing tactics from books, and on lichess and chess tempo to get my brain sharp for the 9 games which are to come!
Today I played an awful game. Well. An awful move. With one mistake I allowed my opponent to win my exchange and more, and I was dead lost. But I played on, and tried my best. How the game ended was very unfair to say the least:)
Here is the game:
