Week 2 completed. Yusupov books still in mail, so I have had to alter what I have done during days 6 and 7.

Feeling at this point that the focus on openings and analysis has helped me to get good positions. Unfortunately I have failed to convert often. In particular in Blitz. I have also played 3+0 in addition to the program. In particular in that time control I am running to time trouble. This is only to be expected, when playing more long time controls.

Week 11 finally completed. Had to go through Yusupovs book lightly a due to time limitations. However, feeling like making good progress in improving my game. Haven't also been using the time that I should have to my daily games.
