This is a blitz chess game I played as white with time control 5|0. The opening played was the Caro-Kann Defense, Two Knights variation. It’s white’s bishop pair versus black’s ultra-solid structure. Could white manage to show the bishop pair as an asset? White must make an important middlegame decision…to maintain bishops or exchange one for a black knight. Come rook endgames, we must always ask of ourselves “should we exchange rooks, who is better in the king and pawn endgame?”. This requires an accurate assessment of both sides’ structure. Whose structure would stand better, and for which reason(s)?

I’m a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who was introduced to the game by 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.
