Featured is an instructive chess game between Baadur Jobava and Vasyl Ivanchuk from the 2005 Capablanca Memorial. In response to Ivanchuk’s Queen’s Indian Defense, Jobava deploys his dark-squared bishop to g5 pinning Ivanchuk’s knight. Shortly thereafter Jobava targets d6 looking to exploit the overloaded state of Ivanchuk’s dark-squared bishop. Ivanchuk’s response is to give up a pawn, go uncastled, and turn his unopposed dark-squared bishop into a monster!

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.
