What I learnt?
Openings:
I worked on Jobava video again because it's not common at my level.
Middlegames:
I studied maroczy's pawn str. today and completed 5th chapter (Based on white's Kingside Attacking plans in Maroczy such as f4-f5 or Re3-Rh3 shifts ) with my training partner.
I also worked on half game of Capablanca's Best Endings with my partner @Jay_Garrison
I analyzed two games of Tigran Petrosian from the book called Petrosian Move by Move with @Devansh_Shah
1. Uddenfeldt vs Petrosian Nice Olympiad 1974.
A lot ideas about how to outplay the opponent in symmetrical position we learnt from this game. Also the ending with rook against knight was instructive and we learnt new ideas.
2. Petrosian vs Visier Segovia Nice Olympiad 1974.
In this game I was stuck a bit because I am not super good in this KID pawn formations but with the help of my expert KID friend @Devansh_Shah we found almost all the nice ideas and grasped a lot attacking stuffs. Normally Petrosian do not like to attack but acc to Var Akobian (When Petrosian Attack it's Mate ). So this is what we saw in this game. When he attack it's mate.
Well, I studied so little today because I am sick and unable to focus well. I hope I will be fine soon then my real work level will become alive again.

What I learnt:
Chessmood Classical Commented Games:
(1) Avetik Grigoryan vs Hovhannisyan 2006
(2) Johner vs Aron Nimzowitsch 1926
(3) Petrosian vs Bannik 1958
Pawn Structures:
I studied rest three games of Grunfeld Structures from Chess Structures a Grandmaster Guide
(1) Holden Hernandez vs George Meier 2013
In this game white entered in grunfeld str. in wrong time and in the end black got control of the important c-file and later he won,
(2) M. Emilian Parligras vs Ian Nepomniachtchi 2011
In this game, I learnt the important attacking plan e5. White is both good and bad too. Good because e5 shuts down the bishop on g7 but bad because it gives up the d5 square and if black survives the attack then white will have to handle a long term endgame pressure. But in this game white got e5 and due to lack of black's Light squared bishop white won easily,
(3) Yrri Vovk vs Andrei Volokitin 2012
In this game black first of all neutralized the white's e5 attack and in the end he won with an amazing breakthrough. Also this game showed importance of having outside passed pawns.
Now with this the chapter on Grunfeld Structure is over and I am trying to find new sources to learn this structure in depth.
