So I've read a lot of suggestions where people say trying to guess the next move in master games and taking time to analyze and try to understand each move can help greatly with learning and improving.
I randomly picked this game out of a list on chess.com's game explorer after doing the first 3 moves in a standard reverse sicilian english opening. I didn't notice until after that it was a blitz game. Probably should have checked that and picked a standard one, but I have no doubt these guys play miles ahead of me even when playing blitz time controls so it should still be a solid example (outside of it ending at a point that seems odd so either time control or resignation for some reason.)
I do not claim any analysis to be correct or accurate, in fact I'm sure plenty is wrong. Instead I am posting this so people could point out the flaws in my analysis and what I am missing/thinking about wrong. I also include my guess move before looking at the next move.
I think I should have titled this Parham to get some more attention...
