After a typical c4 kick to the black queen, white focused on a kingside fianchetto instead of establishing the usual c4/d4 pawn duo. The resulting backwardness of the white d-pawn from that point on became a focal point. This was a 5|0 time control game from lichess.org’s 24-hour Summer Marathon tournament which began on July 5th, 2019. I was playing with the black pieces, and opted for the Scandinavian Defense.

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.
