Week 5 was very interesting with many ups and downs.
In many games I got pain in the a...
I did a lot of puzzles which give me more understanding in specific situations. There is many things to learn. Also I did a lot of survival puzzles and my best result was 17. I found out how to make notes during analyzing on chess.com. Today I post my first analyze with comments. All in one I worked over 20 hours this week.
My Ratings after 5 Weeks in the program:
Rapid: 1052 -> 1088 week 3 because week 4 was blitz
Daily: 1069 -> 1106 week 4
Puzzle: 1152 -> 1072 week 4
In my opinion rating on the beginner level is not important that much and I shouldn't focus on it. There is so much stuff to learn and to understand so before you get it in your brain the rating doesn't matter.

Takeaways from analyse:
1. Don't move to fast and be sure there is a better move
2. Don't focus only on your moves and ideas -> your opponent play also
3. Try to understand your opponents idea -> its very difficult for me
4. Don't attac to early
