A very hard to understand training game in the Rossolimo.

I am changing up the content on the channel. I will be focusing on training games, opening theory, endgames, and middlegames. I want to finish the three series I’d started a while back. Only after the three major parts of the channel are finished, will I start something new again.

I hope you enjoy the second September training game! One thing I want to say is that I completely misunderstood the position for the majority of the game.
