Featured is a sharp chess game between Garry Kasparov and Molly Nesham from a 2017 MasterClass simultaneous exhibition. In response to the Sicilian Defense with 2…e6, Kasparov chooses b3, the Westerinen Attack. After Kasparov’s 11th move the position remains level, without a hint that Kasparov’s opponent is indeed a 1500-point underdog. Kasparov’s Nf5 sparks a sharp kingside attack that culminates in a stunning checkmate after only 26 moves.

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.
