Today I played the second game of the new training cycle and the goal to reach 2100 on lichess classical by the end of November. This time the goal is thought through more thoroughly, I have enough time, and I will be analyzing all the games in detail before playing a new one

In this one I faced a player who messed up the Italian very early on by going for queenside castling and creating a ton of weaknesses around his king. I exploited that almost perfectly. And then got blind and stupid. Learn from my mistakes. Please!

Here is the game:

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Bc5 4. c3 Nf6 5. d3 d6 6. O-O Bg4 7. h3 Bh5 8. Be3 Bb6 9. Nbd2 Qd7 10. b4 Bxe3 11. fxe3 O-O-O 12. Qa4 Kb8 13. Bb5 h6 14. Nc4 a6 15. Bxc6 Qxc6 16. Qxc6 bxc6 17. Na5 c5 18. Nc6+ Kc8 19. Nxd8 Rxd8 20. bxc5 dxc5 21. Nxe5 Be2 22. Rf4 Bxd3 23. Nxf7 Re8 24. Nxh6 Nxe4 25. Ng4 Nxc3 26. Kf2 g5 27. Rf6 Ne4+ 28. Kg1 Nxf6 29. Nxf6 Rxe3 30. Rc1 c4 31. Nd5 Re2 32. Nc3 Rc2 33. Rxc2 Bxc2 34. Kf2 Kd7 35. Ke3 1/2-1/2
