Dennis’s Yusupov intermediate study plan”
Week 1 is started.
Good to get started. The first games already gave a clue as to where one might put in with improvement. Again, tactics determine the games, not the openings ...

It looks like you're trending upwards, Dennis. Do you feel that way based on your games?
No. I think the games balance on the same level. It takes a lot of getting used to the blitz format. The rapid games are ok, but it is also from a lower level. On the other hand, the puzzels go well. Here, after a few weeks, a faint pattern may begin to emerge. And it provides something concrete to work with. So training helps. :-)

Start og week 4
Rapid 1475 Blitz 1524 Daily 1728 Puzzle 2051
It has been a very mixed week (which turned into 2 weeks when there was a holiday week in Denmark). Blitz and rapid chess go pretty bad and I seem to make mistakes in almost all games. Well, and then I lose on time in all 3-minute games. I have a bit of a hard time putting my finger on where things are going wrong ...

4 weeks of continous study is already a lot, keep up with this good work
Hi
I will start my "Intermediate-Study-Plan" tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing what it brings, in addition to some fun chess. I've mostly played OTB chess and daily chess, but with the crazy times we live in, I think online fast and blitz chess might have a chance, to get the little grey cells rolling...
My fast rating is 1342, blitz 1541 and daily 1734.
