Work has really been busy lately and I missed the Week 7 recap of my stats . I never stopped completing my tasks and I kept playing!
Week 7, I really struggled with odd positions where my king was skewered with my queen.
The London opening I've been using is starting to get exploited early. Might be an indicator of playing higher rated players.
Puzzles are helping me think twice about taking a piece and thinking more about adding another threat or pin.
I've started to execute more tactics that involved giving up a queen, trading another minor piece, and forking the queen and king. I've seen this a lot in the puzzles I've encountered and I'm glad I'm starting to these patterns in my games.
In the last 4 weeks of this plan, I'm going to set aside time to play and complete my tasks with a clear head. I feel I've been trying to squeeze in a game here and there and I'd like to be fully present while I'm playing so I don't make stupid mistakes.
