I've got h4 to. \ At the end of the video Rxe5. could be draw, anything else looks dengeorus. I may have the wright anvsers Sam but it could take me a 100 years to get to those positions. Interesting game. Thanks.
I had Qe2. The other ones are just bad.

Nice video. The candid thoughts of a GM, admitting when he went wrong, are interesting. As an intermediate level player video like this are very informative for me to get to the "next level".

Reminds me when I was a kid and I went to the Adelphi theatre and they stopped the movie with some guy on a rope bridge that was about to collapse, and we had to go back the week after to watch the end. I had then to find sixpence to get back in the theatre the next week by selling papers outside the steelworks in Sheffield. Always hated that I had to spend another sixpence, I felt cheated.

by GM Sam Shankland
Struggling to find his "rhythm" after a rough few games at the 2012 World Open, GM Shankland was paired up against Mongolian GM Tsegmed Batchuluun. When he gets surprised out of the opening (7...Bg4) - Shanky decides it's time to "go for it", and he launches a dangerous pawn storm. Running to the Queenside doesn't necessarily help black, but will Sam be able to convert his extra Exchange in the endgame?

Within four years, he had become a National Master, and two years later, he became an International Master when he tied for first in the world u-18 championship, a result unmatched in the last decade of international play by American players. At 20, he has already played in several U.S. Championships, placing 3rd in 2011.
