My first lonely live on twitch
Inspired by the video from Andras of the last blog post, I started trying to understand how OBS works, recorded some videos, checked myself, did one live that I did not store on twitch, and a second one that was stored here:

I started talking about me doing puzzles from The Mammoth Book of Chess. I will note down how much time I take to do a series of 25 puzzles. I just did the Warm Up Mate in 2 puzzles in 1h17m, with 2 wrong results, I could not solve 2 puzzles and I did some mistakes in the notation in other 3 puzzles. We'll see if I am any faster and more accurate next time!
About the game, what did I learn?
- I should risk less, and be very careful when I go around with my queen. If I want to do crazy stuff, there is blitz chess.
- Very often when I do not see any good moves there is a pawn move to do that can defend a piece of mine, attack an opponent piece or prevent that the opponent places a piece there.
- I should study how to counter the Sicilian, my success rate there is awful. I am used to have a good advantage in the opening, that I almost deplete completely in the middle game, also in the games that I manage to win. In reality I should improve in the middle game, but getting acquainted with the Sicilian is a must!
Do you have any more suggestions for me or my opponent @jamesd1847 to improve our games?
Would you like to do a slow game (30-45 minutes) with me around 11 pm or 12 am CET and do a post mortem, record yourself so that we can check each other later to understand how other people think and to help each other?
I did a fast version of the game review. Would you rather see what is the right move at every move instead of only key moves? Should I review the game from the point of view of both players?
