My good games at this week #51
Hello, fellow woodpushers and chess enthusiasts!
It’s that time of the week again! As per tradition, now that the dust has settled, we’re diving into some of my most interesting recent encounters on the 64 squares.
So, what do I have in store for you today? Let’s look at the highlights (and maybe a few lowlights).
The first game didn't last long. Just blink, and game is over!..
This next game serves as a friendly reminder: piece development and king safety are usually worth way more than a single white pawn.
If you don't believe me, just watch how this one unfolded...
A few hours ago, my friend Alexander (@AlexanderMatlak) and I joined the fray in a massive team match.
You might have already heard about this battle if you follow blog from @SamCopeland.
In a true display of international solidarity, we Ukrainian players were fighting on the side of our Turkish neighbors.
And while the Spanish-speaking team ultimately took the overall victory, my personal "mini-match" (a two-game bullet showdown) turned out to be truly unforgettable.
There were 39 pairs in total, and I found myself defending Board 5.
As expected, I was paired against a titled opponent: Daniel Eduardo Lopez Idarraga from Colombia. He’s an active FM with a FIDE blitz rating of 2125.
Beating a titled player in a match is an incredible boost and an invaluable experience for me.
To wrap things up, I'm sticking to my blog's favorite tradition.
For the finale, I’ve selected a few games that perfectly illustrate the theme of my classic post: Let's sacrifice on h7 !
