Today I followed a few games from Tata Steel. I saw Nakamura lose his game to Carlson.

I worked on 3 puzzles in the Practical Chess Exercises paying special attention to thinking through variations to solve them.

I played 26 blitz games and about one third of them quick blitz. I reviewed a couple of games to assess what were the factors that contributed to winning and losing.

I did get a chance to review Sicilian Najdorf Bg5 variation.

I didn't get very much time as there were other chores and family activities to do. I'm looking forward to working on some chess exercises tomorrow.
