Day 13 of my #100DaysofChess has arrived and I was up to challenge solving all 8 of my puzzles today. Again the focus of this challenge is to solve for accuracy. It doesn't matter how many tactics I do in 30 minutes as long as the attempt for accuracy is there.

Today featured several endgame positions and accurate calculation was key in all of them. If you struggle with endgames I made a few recommendations in today's video. I do believe studying endgames along with tactics is a great way to increase your ability to calculate.

Here is today's video:

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 1843 (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!
