Summer Tournament Week 2
My Dear Chess Friend!
This article is written by @, a member of Online tournament that I organized recently. And it reflects his impression about the the 2nd round of our tournament!
Hi all!
Happy to say week two's match had another positive result, but not a very exciting game. Unfortunately my opponent made an opening blunder that was very easy to overlook, but cost them dearly. This lead to a one sided, quick game. Instead of sharing that game, I will share my most exciting game played this week, one with tons of opportunities to learn from.
Tuesday to Friday I was away camping so didn't work on chess everyday, however I did start working on the tactical vision exercise shared in my last blog. I can already tell this exercise is working! Of course nothing you do over one week will drastically change your skill, but I could see my vision slightly improving, and can only imagine the potential of continuing this drill for months.
For the upcoming week, I will try to do the tactical vision exercise each day, as well as doing some much tougher puzzles how I normally solve them. I'm sure tactics are no doubt the quickest way to improve my chess level. Game 3 of the Summer Tournament will be scheduled and played this up-coming week and I look forward to the next round! If interested in learning about the tournament and tactical vision exercise, check out my last blog here: Online Summer Tournament: first impression from a member.
Here is a random 15/10 game played here on chess.com this week, that has tons of mistakes in tricky positions to review. I was in serious time trouble early on.
