Blitz Chess #370: Owen’s Defense

This is a blitz chess game I played as white with time control 5|0. The opening played was the Owen’s Defense by a quick transposition. Black, in hypermodern style, allows white a strong central pawn presence only to later strike at it with both bishop pawns. These strikes not only give black some new squares to work with, but also give white some space advantage. When the position opens, a tactical shot is made to try and undermine the post of a strongly placed knight. Would the tactical shot however be sound?

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.
