Watch for early pawn breaks!

In this video I go over very early pawn breaks that were playable but missed in this 5/5 blitz game. Black could have made me uncomfortable with an early b5 taking me into messy lines (a good idea in blitz!) and white missed a critical thematic pawn break just a few moves later. I'm not sure I fully understand pawn breaks (pretty sure I don't) but I know I don't want to make this mistake over the board! hehe

Enjoy I'd love to hear any thoughts/advice on these scenarios!  -Stacia
