LIVE Blitz Chess Commentary #325: Levitsky Attack
This is a blitz chess game I played as black with time control 3|2. The opening was the Levitsky Attack. White is quick to give black the bishop pair in exchange for a damaged black kingside structure. Black's dark-squared bishop in particular will play a key role in this one since it has no counterpart. Succeeding with producing a conducive environment for the bishops may be dependent on the element of time. One may have to act fast, or the possibilities for a positive outcome may slip right before one's eyes.
