Halfway through my 2nd set of tactics and I certainly feel stronger all round not so many stupid blunders
Did a sesh with YKW on Friday where we looked at basic K+P endgames, boy do I suck. Granted I was tired and actually came down pretty ill over the weekend but, still a ton of work to do
Played my 2nd Team 45 45 game tonight and it was super strange, in that my opponent basically played every move almost instantly like it was blitz. He ended up with 55 mins on clock, which is crazy given how much time you are given.
I mean what's the point in playing in this league if you will treat it like blitz
The game is below, the great thing about 45 45 is all villains previous games are up for viewing. I went through his past games as black and found he plays this dubious 4...g6 line in the anti Sicilian and after d4 I think he is already much worse.
Previous games have gone either 5... cxd4 6 Qxd4 and now 6...Nf6 7. e5 and I think white is already much better and winning a pawn on c6 most likely.
The game continuation has been played before according to my research and gets crushed; villain had played this move before as well in a previous match which was here
Villain previous game
Team 45 45 v Miscu56
I think the problem is he basically never gets developed, I thought 15...Bb5 was a big mistake
Quick comp check shows I could have played more accurately at many points, double rooks on A file which looks nice is a mistake.
