Today I played the sixth 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.
Before this game my stats were:
Games played: 5
Result: +3 =2 -0
Rating: +14
Rating until goal completion: 2079/2100 =21
Today I faced a fellow YouTuber, Martin. We have been trying to arrange a game for a while now, but I’ve been postponing it because it’s hard to arrange anything at the moment. Now that we finally have, Martin was on a train to work while playing because we can only play in early mornings when you combine my early rising and being tired in the evenings, and Martin’s life.
So I definitely had an advantage because of better playing conditions. When we play a rematch, we will make sure that he has perfect conditions too. And I’ll ride around in a tram or something:D
The game was very interesting, and it included a patters I am well aware of but never seem to fully grasp. This was just what I needed!
Here is the game:
