Road to the Grandmaster title - Endgame Victory against Grandmaster Rustemov
Yesterday I won a game against Grandmaster Alexander Rustemov in the Titled Tuesday Tournament.
I played the London system. He replied the modern Bd6, Qc7 line. I got a big advantage, but missed my chances to win material and I got into a worse endgame with rooks and knight.
I made good exchanges to equalize the game and he also allowed a very good pawn exchange.
I kept my strong passed a-pawn which helped me to win the game:
In the morning I did my 1 hour tactics training. I share a few puzzles with you:
