I find doing puzzles with people helps really nail down board awareness and
coordinate understanding. Also I wouldn’t be to worried about that game your
opponent played a Smith Moria gambit which is popular right now but if you’ve
never studied it the opening can definitely through you out of whack. Just have
to add it to the mountain of theory that is the joy of the Sicilian.

Hi everyone.
So as usual my practice game of the morning is below and I’ve also gone ahead
and attached the PGN raw file for those who prefer it that way.
However I noticed I just flat got outplayed on this one.
It’s weird but it’s harder for me to keep my board organized mentally as
Black.
Anyone else have this problem or have a trick for dealing when you play as
Black?
Thanks,
Jorge
