Chess training diary of an adult chess improver. I play 100% online, switched to Classic and occasionally playing Rapid 15+10. Willing to see improvement in my play (and make Lichess 1800 in 2024 ). Consistency improved a lot thanks to Chess Dojo structure and program, frequency and quality of Classical online play improved a lot thanks to Lichess4545 and Lone Wolf league. Now focusing on Class C endgames, following Silman classification.

My yearly summary. I guess I’ll get one from chess.com too, and then somebody should help me to put them together for a real feeling on how my chess year went.

Happy birthday to Sal Buscema, the artist who gave us this panel of the Vision studying an "unusual variant of the English opening." (So unusual that it involves starting with the kings on the d file, apparently!) #chess

I just won a game in the #lichess4545 league. My rating on #lichess #classical is now 1722, my personal best. I wanted to share the #joy for this small #achievement with the #adult #improvers community!
