This is a game from the 2017 Autumn Marathon where I was playing with the black pieces in the Scandinavian Defense. A queenless middlegame presented itself quickly, and the game remains positional in nature throughout. Surprisingly enough, when black applies a little pressure to the c2 pawn, white’s coordination becomes somewhat awkward. The time control was 3 minutes with a 2-second increment.

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.
