I just went through Learn Chess The Right Way - Mastering Defensive Techniques by Susan Polgar. Made me aware of things I'm sure I wouldn't have thought of. I'm going through it again and most likely the other books in the series. 😎

Currently around 750 rapid. Got as high as 875. The first goal i to hit 1000. Blunders / hanging pieces in general but also ones that turn a winning game into a disaster.
