Road to 2300 - A queen for free?

▶️ Watch on 3Speak

Today was another day on the lichess board, with many ups and downs in the games of course. I've set out to reach 2300 rating but things have not been so easy but that's what a challenge is all about, to surpass oneself. Today I played three quite dynamic games, I won one of them and lost the other two. In today's gameplay I had some connection problems and as you can see in the third game my clock reached zero because of a lot of lag. Anyway, here I leave the games and I hope there are some apprentices left.

Unfortunately I lost the advantage in a very favorable position in which the domination of the board was a key factor in the game. Black has very little space although it must be said that his position is quite solid. My intention was to put pressure on the a5 pawn and try to create an assault on the queenside where I had my eye on. But, a tactical slip made me lose the queen and with it the game.

In this game happened the opposite of the first one xd. In a position in which I had everything against me I managed to save it with a tactical trick. With a pawn down in a middlegame in which it seemed that white would consolidate his advantage he made a serious mistake by leaving an attack uncovered that would make it lose the queen.

In this game I secured a good square for my knight on "e5", an ideal place since there are no enemy pawns on "f" or "d", making it unsuccessful. Despite this positional achievement I could not finish the game because I had some connection problems and at the last moment my clock reached 0 and I had an incredible advantage over the tabloid.

Thanks for watching the video and don't forget to leave your comments. The road still continues and the 2300 will soon be reached!
