week 6 day 3
this course i am strugling to stay motivated as progress is very timid , some sign in improvment in bullet as i beat some 1800 on liches and 2000 was on the ropes so maybe it s good sign i get faster, we see how it goes
week six is over did some opening work which is very beneficial on spanich clasical dutch and italian game . Handling 3+0 better its not so stresfull to play now in shorter time controls. Expext some rating gains next week , i post a game from lonewolf lige with very interesting ending , apparently i had adventage but extremly difficult to convert

i am on week eight and Matt thinks i am on tvelwe but please dont't tell enyone . I am strugling to find time to do the course for various reasons but i keep going maybe its not intensive enough to make me progress . Rating wise my blitz rating is shambolic i improved in longer time controls. i go to week eight fingers crossed
Have some succes to share and observation
i played against titled player WFM woman fide master and i won my observation is like this i belive many people cheat and i made plany of weak moves in this game and was not punished ruthlessly like in many other games with weaker opponents which conclude game without even one weak move in limited or short time that is hard to belive she had problems finding right path even she had +6 adventage some people play with +2+3 so ruthlessly that you have no chance no weak move , something is wrong here.

week 9 day 1 summing up i have problem with blitz i came up to conclusion that exept good tactical ability i must know openings better otherwise i dont see solution
week 9 day 6 lonewolf 45/45 game a caro-kann game against strong opponent
week 9 day 6 simul with Matt again i was close to win but rushed things too much and my adventage evaporated good i did not loose itat the end
Study plan post week 10 day 1
in blitz i cant break 1400 its annoying as i was over 1700at some point but yet i play 3+0 and earlier mainly 5+5 maybe breaktrough come before the course ends. in longer time controls i have some sucessses on liches beating 2130 drawing with Matt in simul my score against 4 to 0,5 i Matt favor. its though
Week 11 day 1
its getting really slow i cant keep up with the course skipping days so it go slow . Did some opening study mainly dutch and bishop opening . its not going easy as i dont remember it well . Really hard to improve basicly iprovemnts equals a lot of hard work which i cant put up due to lack of time . Still cant improve in blitz especialy 3+0 .
week 12 day 1
formally starting last week of the course i took a seat back last month due to other commitment (lol) honestly i was just too tired to keep up with it i must change the tempo for me study one hour a day is too much. I am better with long time controls but stil poor with blitz cant break trough with 3+0 time control . My Overall conclusion is less is more quality over quantity .
So the course is over , it was hard ann took me much longer than twelve weeks to complete . I dont know what went wrong but i could not keep the intensity and slowed down with the course that doesnt help to incrase my rating , which are significantly worse than at the begining . I think i will repeat it as the theoretical part of the course was very instructive . But for now being i take break .
