I have successfully completed 100 days of documented chess study (although I think I have done a few extra days here and there). It has been enjoyable and there has been value in keeping track of my rating and puzzle rush score in order to see the growth (or lack of growth). Overall I am happy with the progress I have made.

Daily Study Today I played an over the board game against my dad. We had a look at the game together and analysed it. I also did a number of puzzles. My chess.com puzzle rating is currently sitting at 2652. The following puzzle is the final one I attempted. I was successful in finding the right move. Can you find the best move?
Solution
The best move is 1. Qxd7 Kxd7 2. Rxe7+ Kc6 3. Rc7+ winning the queen.

Daily Study I played a rapid game and then I analysed it. The interesting move to think about was the blunder f3 (that I made) and understanding why the move is not a good choice in such positions.
