I had to skip Sunday but per the rules that day will get added to the end of this challenge.
Today I conclude Day 12 of my #100DaysofChess challenge.
Practical tips in this video include making sure you look for all of your opponent's best possible replies. Understanding what your opponent's last move threatens so you can find defenses or pursue tactical gains because of those moves.
Here is the video for today:
My name is David Blackwelder. I started playing tournament chess at the age of 22. I have worked my way from the 1200s to a peak rating of 1844 (December 2021). Those are my United States Chess Federation (USCF) ratings. My short-term goal is to reach a rating of 2000 which will earn me the Expert title. My long-term goal is to get the National Master (NM) title at a rating of 2200. As an adult they say it is near impossible, well I don't believe that. Therefore I am creating blogs and videos to help other adult players improve their chess. Thanks for following me!
