Blitz Chess #350: Double Kingside Fianchetto

This is a blitz chess game I played as white with time control 3|2. Both sides opt for a kingside fianchetto in this one where we have a positional battle on board. Black elects to exchange the their light-squared bishop and then reinforce a light-square strongpoint on d5. It’s white’s bishop pair vs black’s slight queenside space advantage. Which side will prevail, if any at all? ๐Ÿ˜€

I’m a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who learned how to play from my father in 1988 at the age of 8. The purpose of this channel is to share my knowledge of chess to help others improve their game. I enjoy continuing to improve my understanding of this great game, albeit slowly.
