#waywardqueen #black #openingtactics #beginnertips Many beginner players will experience the Wayward Queen Attack (1. e4 e5 2. Qh5?!) – either playing it themselves or facing off against it. Likely it’s been played tens i...
#vienna #zhuravlev #anti-zhuravlev #giraffe Last week, I had two consecutive games with different opponents (one on chess.com, and the next on Lichess) where I had the white pieces, and Black played down a specific line of the Zhuravlev...
#chesscam #computervision #otb2pgn #chesschat Have you ever wished that you could easily get a PGN of a game of chess you played over-the-board? I know that I have! Yes, I could have simply written it down during the game, but that's ...
#englundgambit #quickwins #tactics Well hello here! We’re now at Quick Wins #99 and today, I have an unrated 10-min game of rapid against a Random Noob. This game is a simple, but good example for beginner players on reading an...
#scandinavian #history #romance I've recently been doing some research on the Scandinavian Defense for my upcoming book on aggressive chess opening attacks in the romantic style of chess. The Scandi (1. e4 d5) is intrinsically a deeply ...
#ruylopez #jaenisch #viennagambit #romanticism Last week, I had a bit of a massive tilt, dropping to below 1200 ELO in rapid for the first time in a very long time! 😅 I know exactly why this has happened… I’ve been playing ...

#ruylopez #jaenischgambit #brilliant #greekgift #bishopsac #rooksac Recently, I’ve been playing a little bit less chess as I’ve not only been busy at work, but I’ve also been learning how to fish during my spare time. 🎣😅👍 ...
#vienna #maxlange #berlinvienna #tactics #ng5 #quickwins Today’s quick win is sent in by a long-time subscriber, @Gloin1994, who like me is a Vienna Game lover! This game demonstrates a winning tactic for White in a critical posit...
#vonhennig #carokann #bishopsac #brilliant One of the best approaches against the Caro-Kann Defense (which is one of the best responses by Black against 1. e4, and @GothamChess IM Levy Rozman’s signature opening) is the von Hennig...

#friedliver #counterattack #tactics When playing with the black pieces, one of the feared openings to play against at the beginner-intermediate level is the Fried Liver Attack in the Italian Game. The flip side is that it is one of t...

#psychologicaltactics #quickwins This was a very fun quick win in an unrated game of 10-min rapid. I had the Black pieces and White played the Nimzowitsch-Larsen Attack, and then a double fianchetto setup (1. b3 e5 2. Bb2 Nc6 3. g3?!). ...
#viennagambit #romance #doublecheck #doublebrilliant #sacforwin One of the things that I love about the Vienna Gambit is the chance for romanticism! Every now and then, you get a game that is just about perfect, as was the case with thi...
