Puzzle Rush Score 46
Daily Study Today I learnt about an incredibly cool site called Opening Tree. You can enter your online chess account and it will go through all of your games to see what openings you play and what score you have against certain openings. I found this incredibly interesting and just enjoyed exploring for a while.
One interesting thing I found out is that there were a few openings I play that I score quite well in, but there may be positions within the main opening I am not so good at handling. For example I have a good record playing the Ruy Lopez. I have won 43 games and lost 21 with the white pieces. However, within the Ruy Lopez there is a line known as the Morphy Defense where I have lost 5 out of 7 games, showing that I clearly don’t have a great grasp of the types of positions that arise in those lines.
The site is great as it highlights areas I can work on improving (at least with my opening theory).
