Featured is a 5+0 blitz chess game between Grandmaster “Feeglood” on lichess and LeelaKnightOdds. Playing Black without a king knight, Leela goes for a double fianchetto setup, while the Grandmaster builds a wall of four pawns on the fourth rank. The game sharpens as Leela puts pressure on e4, leading to a sequence that results in a queen versus rook and three pawns imbalance, with the Grandmaster even picking up a second queen. The 2-move sequence following Leela’s 16th move, e5, is especially instructive.

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.
