Hi - I am interested in improving my rapid and classical games. I'm starting at a lower rating level, and will follow your progress with interest.

What?
And today, the day no one is waiting for: Mouratovsky update plan.
Well, the first week was ok. Started 5 daily games and start a new one when a game ends. End 3 of them with 3 W. But my daily rating is underated right now, so these wins are correlated with a big difference of rating between me and my opponents.
I played two classical games at lichess. They were easy ones, but my classical rating are underated right now at lichess (played only 7 games before, 5 of them I resigned to do something else 😅).
Played four rapid games (15+10) with 3L and 1W. But one lost was a great missclick at a winning endgame, so I will consider it a moral victory. The other two games I lost because of tactical mistakes. Something usual.
And played 8 "official" blitz games (5+5) with 5W 2L 1D. I played many other blitz games (3+2). But I was in a dopamine rush on these ones and I believe that it is a problem to my chess development. No more blitz outside the study plan for now on.
And I restart the Yusupov from the beggining. The first chapter I made 12 points (good grade).
Well, this finished the "efficient part of the plan". Now, a little bit of the Maximize part of it.
Everyday I reviewed the d4 course from chessgoals at chessable. Until now I see 5 chapters. I will start a new one next week, on the opening repertoire work time.
Additionally, I played 10 puzzle battles at chess.com.
And I played at chessgoals simul against @smarterchess. One victory, but it was by time 😅. Maybe because it was too many people. Waiting for the next ones.
Well, I had only this to tell. Until next week guys.
And today, the day no one is waiting for. Mourato's new study plan 2.
I started today the new study plan focused on rapid and Classical games. The starting rating are:
Blitz: 1328 (huge recent drop, normally it is between 1450 and 1500)
Rapid: 1681
Daily: 1272 (huge drop recently - leave a tournament and lose all 10 matches =P).
