+### Week 10

+Blitz games didn't go well this week, as usual.
+Extracurricular rapid games did tho!
+
+The correspondence tournament is going well: so far I've won four games and
+lost zero so far (I also won two against the person in my group who
+just timed out against everybody, but those are hardly worth counting).
+As for the remaining four games in round 1: one I'm very ahead and
+should win; another I feel pretty good about; and the other two are
+very hard for me to judge (they're still early, material is even, and
+neither of us have a clearly better position).
+
+I didn't get in very much endgame study this week due to having just
+arrived in Argentina.
+In the openings book I made it on to the modern queen's pawn openings
+chapter, and just barely to the start of the covering of the Indian
+Defenses (1. d4 Nf6 openings).
+Looking forward to the rest of the coverage of those, as well as to
+reading about rarer defenses to 1. d4.
+
+Two weeks left!
+I have clearly improved a lot at rapid time controls so far!
+Not so much at blitz, but ah well!
+When it ends I'll definitely continue with another study plan, but I'm
+not yet sure if I'll try the more advanced variant of the beginner
+plan, or move on to the intermediate plan (I'm not at the suggested
+rating for that but still considering it), or come up with something
+custom. Tbd!
