    This is day 240 of my journey to get to a rating of 2000 on chess.com.
    Even though I lost both of these games I believe I've learned a ton from them. Critical moments come sooner than I often expect, and I can have a huge advantage early if I just focus up from the beginning. I made a ton of mistakes in both games and missed a lot, but I'm feeling better than ever after analyzing these two games much more thoroughly, hope you enjoy seeing them.
    So far on the series:
    179 wins 22 draws 150 losses

    Nothing worse than being excited to own some noob with the jobava only to see a benoni response

    B-man - Just thought I would mention that, as is the case with most of us, it is not about the opening, but the middlegame. Relentlessly working through tactics will get you to where you need to be. Hang in there, you are in a place right along with me - playing well, but making a middlegame mistake that turns things over.

    Chess is like golf, if you make a bad move, don't be upsetor frustrated about itt, just keep looking for the best, otherwise your moves will get worse.

    Owen. This is a step on the journey. What can you learn from today? How can you incorporate this knowledge into your game. Looking forward to the next step change.

    Maybe continue to look into the more cutting edge ideas for the Dutch because not all Dutch games are the same. Good game on this one!

    Man, I really think you should explore the Najdorf, it's very theoretically explored and has many solid lines. I play it the most out of any opening, and have had a lot of success with it.

      @Blunder_Man It's genuinely a system that doesn't require major central exchanges. Just develop dark squared bishop after a6, then castle. Sometimes you can follow up with a kingside fianchetto of the bishop after a6, depends on opponents response after a6.
