#YusupovChallenge update: book 6, chapter 9 (better pawn structures) completed! 😎 Can someone explain why in this game of Yusupov vs Aagaard Bg5 wouldn’t be a valid answer? SF only considers it slight worse to Bf4 🤔⭐️⭐️ #chesspunks

#YusupovChallenge update: book 6, chapter 7 (exploiting weaknesses) completed! 😎 This chapter was very interesting and felt very practical, some of the moves required first identifying the weakness and then calculating a way to exploit it, which happens very frequently in real games!! ⭐️⭐️ #chesspunks

#YusupovChallenge update: book 6, chapter 6 (a lead in development) completed! Another difficult chapter, most of the exercises were taken from Alekhines games! 🫠 (come on there’s no way I can calculate like him…) white to play in this ⭐️⭐️⭐️ puzzle I failed. Agadmator would have succeeded! #chesspunks

#YusupovChallenge update: book 6, chapter 5 (don’t allow counterplay!) completed. 😎 This was a very difficult endgame chapter, lots of calculation involved and I spent like 4 hours on it and also pulled up SF to check my solutions. Failed this ⭐️⭐️⭐️ puzzle, black to play and hold the draw #chesspunks

#YusupovChallenge update: book 6, chapter 4 (opening repertoire against 1.c4) completed with good score! 😎 These QGD positions are not my style but at least the ideas are not that difficult. I’m happy with the symmetrical English for now. I failed this ⭐️ puzzle which is not that easy! #chesspunks

#YusupovChallenge update: book 6, chapter 3 (attacking the king) completed! 😎 I almost nailed all the exercises in this chapter, except for the ⭐️⭐️⭐️ puzzles like this one where I would find the first move, but not the best defense by the opponent (thus missing the remaining points)! #chesspunks

I played 4 games yesterday in an under 1700 tournament: I ended up 3/4 and played the ones I won with accuracy >= 94%, why can’t I be happy about any of them because I just lost one to a kid? Is it because I expected to do 4/4? Is anyone else experiencing this? Why is chess so hard? #chesspunks
