You can solve the exercises and watch the games with my comments:
In the first game my opponent played the Alekhine defense. I got space advantage. In 1 moment he could create a weak e5 pawn for me, but missed it abd when he wanted to counter-attack with f5, his e6 became weak and he lost it and the game too:
In the 2nd game my opponent played the french defense. I got a strong attack on the kingside and a winning position with huge time advantage. I did not find the win and my opponent started to attack only with seconds on his clock and nearly checkmated me, but then lost on time. I shouls improve about converting advantages to a victory:
So yesterday I won 17 points.
Starting rating: 2423
Current rating: 2464
Change: +41
