Blitz Chess #390: Sicilian Defense, Najdorf, Opocensky

Chess can sometimes feel like dominoes. A single piece of material, once fallen, can trigger a sequence of events and there’s little one can do to stop it. How to try to show some form of resistance would be the question in this specific game out of an open Sicilian, Najdorf, Opocensky. Lose control of the center, and you lose control of the game! This was a 5|0 time control game, where I was playing with the white pieces.

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.
