Road to the Grandmaster title - Tactics Training Day 45

Today was the 45th day when I did around 1 hour tactics training. I started to do these exercises to improve my calculation and visualization skills to reach the grandmaster level in those areas too. I invite you to solve the exercises I worked on today in my LIVE stream on my twitch channel at https://www.twitch.tv/attilaturzo 

Every day you can join me when I work on tactics.

You can watch the video how did I solve the puzzles:

Then I did my 2nd hour of chess training by playing 3 blitz games and analyzing them.

In the first game I played the Caro-kann defense. My opponent played a new move and I did not notice his queen can penetrate to my position with a great effect. He did not do that, but attacked my queen which was blocked by my own pieces and lost:

In the 2nd game I played the Torre attack and got a small advantage, but then played too passively and his queen penetrated with a winning advantage:

In the final game I played the London system, he played the Bf5 setup which allowed me to get a strong attacking position. I was not playing enough aggressive to win the game and went to a worse endgame which I lost:

My blitz rating went from 2540 to 2520.

In the afternoon I ran with my daughter and a friend. In the morning I listened a lecture about the Maya, the illusion.
