My Daily Journey: Daily Game Analyses Start Now

Hey Chess.com community! I’m launching a fun challenge: playing one daily chess game at my 1600 rating and sharing a key lesson from each to help us all improve. With a 2200 blitz and 2100 bullet rating, I’m excited to bring my chess experience to daily games and climb to top 100!

In daily chess, every move is a chance to plan deeply. I’ll play one game each day, analyze it with Chess.com’s tools, and share a practical tip—maybe a tactic I nailed, a blunder to avoid, or an opening idea. These posts are for 1400-2000 blitz players looking to level up, with advice like how to spot traps or build a solid position.

My first game starts soon, and I’ll post the analysis once it’s done! Want to join? Play a daily game, check your moves, and share your takeaways in the comments. What’s your favorite strategy, or what’s tough in daily chess? Let’s grow together!

Here is aninstructive rapid game for you 

After 1. d4 d6 2. c4 g6, White aimed for control, but Black countered with a solid setup. The critical moment came after 36. Rb5+ Bd5 37. Rxb2 f4+ :

Position after 36…f4+:

White played 37. exf4+, but this opened the king to checks (37…gxf4+ 38. Kg4 Rxf2). Instead, 37. Kh4! would’ve kept the king safer, avoiding the pawn storm. Chess.com’s engine shows Black’s +5 advantage after 37. exf4+—a tactical oversight.

Key Lesson: In rapid, always calculate pawn breaks like …f4+. They can expose your king! White’s 37. Kh4 could’ve held longer, teaching us to prioritize king safety under time pressure.
