Day 58

Puzzle Rush Score 28

Daily Study Today I played three blitz games. I won one and lost two. I had good positions in all of the games (I even blundered a full bishop and was still winning) and it was blunders in time trouble that led to the losses. Today I was excited to see that Maxime Vachier-Lagrave had a win in the Grand Swiss against the French Defense using the same line I have been working on that Carissa Yip used in the U.S Women’s Chess Championships.

It would be great to see Maxime finish in the top two and secure a spot in the Candidates Tournament.

Here is the game (annotations by Peter Doggers).
