TQ SIR...

Ain't chess beautiful? :)
GM dbojkov
Yes, and f7-f6 instead of h7-h5 is also possible. The key is not to capture the queen at once
Of course, white's bishop cannot fly to f6 and turn the tables. White's busted. :)

It's nice to see intermediate level games that I can relate well to! Nice lesson

Haha I beat Jane Zhang at last year's New Yorker Open. Small world!
namahshivaya, this is a nice trick, but Black is not forced to take on d8 and can play instead Bf8 immediately.
At 13:51, doesn't Qd8+ win for white? e.g. Qd8+ Rxd8 Rxd8+ Bf8 Bh6+-

lostpoints: its a she and she plays black. you can usually tell by which way the board is orientated and GM Dejan also says it in the first minute or so :)

Which piece set does he use?
by GM Dejan Bojkov
The second installment in GM Bojkov's new video series brings us another game full of practical lessons for our learning! Many typical and instructive mistakes were made by Ashrita (and her opponent), but she also executed some very nice middlegame plans against white's IQP, arising from an Alapin Sicilian, to gain a small advantage heading into the endgame.
