Supercharge my chess - day 11
Today I continue to write about my daily experiences in the 21 days to Supercharge your chess course.
You can read about the past days:
Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5, Day 6, Day 7, Day 8, Day 9, Day 10
My goals:
1. I want to study chess in an organized way. I hope 21 days of organized study of the course will build my habit to create and follow my study plans after the course finished.
2. I want to win a Titled tuesday tournament in 2016
3. I want to win a Death match in 2016
4. I want to be one of the top 10 rated blitz (3-5 minutes game) player on chess.com
The structure of the study of Day 11 was the following:
- Theoretical section:
They key idea of today's teaching was the importance of the endgame knowledge.
Endgames can be devided to two groups: Theoretical and Practical endgames.
1. Theoretical endgames are positions where the process to win or draw are discovered and by learning the process anybody can achieve the best result from those positions.
2. Practical endgames are complex endgames where we can follow general endgame principles and can exchange pieces to go into theoretical endgames, which we know how to win or draw.
Studying the most important theoretical endgames help us to play better our practical endgames.
We should start with pawns endgames, then rook endgames, minor piece endgames, queen endgames and mixed endgames.
- Practical section:

In today's position typical attacking motives in the french defense were shown.
I annotated the full game and share it with you:
