Three training games played on my quest to reach 2100 on lichess classical by the end of September!
Today I played two games against a really strange opponent. In the first one he gave up a pawn and was lost. But then I took a poisoned bishop and got mated. Well. That’s life I guess. In the second he just gave up a piece!
The third game was normal, luckily. I played an Exchange Caro-Kann against a stronger opponent and managed to win in the end, but it was tough. Plenty of errors made. 65 more points to go until Octover 1st!
