Featured is an excellent game between Tan Zhongyi and Carissa Yip from the 2025 Cairns Cup. Facing the Jobava London, Yip counters with a kingside fianchetto. After 8.cxd4, her queen begins a remarkable journey that spans 14 moves and makes up nearly one third of all her moves in the game. One of those queen moves in particular would make any fan of AlphaZero proud!

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.
