Hey there, I'm partaking in the Beginner 2 study plan. The goal I've set for myself is 1010-1100 by the end of this study.

My current ratings on chess.com:

Blitz - 673

Rapid - 875

I shall be posting and updating as I progress through the course to hold myself accountable.

Good luck! I did the Beginner 1 and saw that type of gain so it's doable!

Positive takeaway: Was leading the game initially and had a strong start. Created valid changes
Constructive takeaway:
1. Double check before a move (check if opponent can fork/create opportunity).
2. Double check to pick on captures that are advantageous

Positive takeaway: Used tactics such as forks to gain an advantage
Constructive takeaway: -> Use checks, captures and threads method to find best moves

-> Analyze intention behind enemy's movements and possible responses

Positive takeaway: Capitalized on forking tactic and stuck to advantageous exchanges. Developed my pieces earlier than my opponent.
Constructive takeaway:
1. Although good tactics were available, scan atleast twice to see other possible options that are better forks/pins/tactics
2. Castle the king once development has proceeded.
