My good games at this week #52
Hello, friends!
I would call this past week "The Scandinavian Week." It will certainly be remembered for the sheer volume of games I played in this opening.
To start, here are a few first-class miniatures. I didn't have to put in much effort here; faced with an aggressive setup, my opponents ended up confusing themselves.
In the second game, a player rated 2300+ laid his head right into the mouth of a sharp gambit. It is doubly interesting because this marks my second significant victory over him (you can see our first game in My Good Games #49).
I was feeling like a true Scandinavian expert. However, in the next game, I felt as if I had entered a medieval knight's tournament wearing nothing but cardboard armor.
My opponent was the 19-year-old FIDE Master from Moldova (FIDE 2072). She played this game with great inspiration, and it became a valuable lesson for me.
In the following game, I had to play for a win, and it was the Scandinavian once again.
I played this in a match between the Mariya Muzychuk Fan Club and the Hou Yifan Fan Club. What are your thoughts on how this match started?
Lastly, my blog about typical sacrifices in certain structures (mostly in the French Defence) remains relevant. This simple mistake continues to be made by many players across different ages, nations, and ratings.
