Featured is an excellent positional chess game between 16-year-old Bobby Fischer and 5-time Colombian Champion IM Luis Sanchez. Out of a Closed Ruy Lopez, Sanchez chooses the line with 9…Nd7. After the central tension is resolved, Fischer’s queen drifts toward the kingside to provoke weaknesses. It’s instructive to see Fischer initially avoid exchanging light-squared bishops, only to pursue that same exchange many moves later once light-square weaknesses surfaced. Fischer’s approach was to provoke weaknesses, trade Black’s key defender of those squares, and preserve a piece capable of exploiting them. This game is a beautiful example of positional play.

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.
