This is an instructive chess miniature between Michael Adams and Jack Rudd from Round 3 of the 2025 British Chess Championship, played on August 4th. The game begins with the Sicilian Najdorf, and after the central exchange 11. exd5, important pawn majorities surface. In many positions, pawn moves carry great strategic weight, and after Rudd’s 13th move, his position is already beyond repair. This short game offers valuable lessons in structure and timing.

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.
