+### Week 2
+
+From this week on, the study plan decreases the games played a little
+to make room for studying the games from _Logical Chess Move by Move_.
+Which is a fun book!
+It's a bit of an old book, so some of the analyses are by now
+demonstrably erroneous due to further developments in the understanding
+of chess (and the advent of chess engines), but it's interesting.
+It goes through a bunch of historical master-level games and explains
+the ideas behind (and sometimes flaws in) each move.
+
+Yesterday I also got to get started on _Winning Chess Openings_ (okay,
+that's a lie, i've been doing a bit of extracurricular reading on it
+already. but i did more yesterday).
+Which is also a great book.
+I've reached the section of the book where it's basically giving a
+whirlwind tour of every classical king's pawn opening (which is to say,
+ones beginning 1. e4 e5, with both players moving the pawn in front of
+their king two squares).
+Next it's gonna do the same for classical queen's pawn openings (1. d4
+d5), and then for modern king's/queen's pawn openings (where the second
+player doesn't mirror the first's move, intending to contest or attack
+their position in the center in some other way).
+
+The games this week were all blitz games.
+I went 6-6, (3-1, 2-2, and 1-3 across the different days I played
+them).
+Looking back I notice I went 6-1 with the white pieces and 0-5 with the
+black pieces.
+Huh.
+(And the black games were all in the Caro-Kann, which is how I respond
+to 1. e4.)
+Gonna need to work on that I guess, hehe.
+
+I won my daily game that was going really excitingly.
+Played another game against the same person as well as starting a new
+game.
+The rematch went in my favor again, and now we're doing another (now
+unrated) game.
+The new daily game I got a bit reckless and tried a Qa5+ tactic (this
+is moving your queen to check the opponent's king with the intention of
+then capturing a different piece with the queen when they have to move
+to defend; awkwardly I failed to notice that they could both block the
+check and defend the piece I was going after by moving their queen)
+that hasn't panned out so I had to spend several moves getting my queen
+to safety.
+I've managed to stabilize the situation so we'll see how that works
+out. :)
