I late-joined a Rapid tournament while I was livestreaming. Highlighted is the 3rd game I played in the event. I had the white pieces and the opening was a Vienna Game, Max Lange Defense. Tension remains for some time in this game because neither side wants to open a file for the opponent. With a ram structure on the e-file (e4 vs e5), and each supported by a d-pawn, an important factor will often be who can active their rooks first. The Rapid time control for this game is 10 minutes with a 0 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. 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.
