Playing different openings all the time may not be a good idea if your goal is to reach 2500. Maybe focus a couple of things instead, so that you won't have to spend too much time trying to figure opening plans.
❗this is your reminder to STOP playing when you realize your mind doesn`t feel sharp. Don`t even try to get all those points back❌ Better go have some rest or read a chess book to learn something new. This episode is definitely not my proudest one; I was kicking against the pricks in vain hope to finally play a decent game. Hope you find them interesting anyway! Have a wonderful day! ☺
Aww, we lost your audio at 35:51 - and then you seemed to be saying so much! I'm sad to have missed whatever it was. :) 42:24 - yay, you're back! :) Anyway, interesting stuff. And one thought: maybe just don't worry about talking _during play_ and tell us about things afterwards?? It's nice to hear thoughts as you play, but if it's costing you time, I for one am willing to wait. And yes, breaks are wise!
