My good games at this week #55
Good evening (or perhaps morning), my chess friends!!
In my chess career, I’ve faced some truly incredible openings: the Van Geet opening, the Schilling-Kostic gambit, and even the Mao Tse Tung Attack (featured in My Good games #19). But what about the Mongredien Defense? Have you heard of it, or does it sound like an exotic dish to yo?
I I have never played chess professionally, so it is always a massive honor for me to sit across the board from a titled player.
(Speaking of which, you can check out my best upsets here: Top 5 my wins vs title players)
But wait, there’s more! Here is an interesting game from yesterday’s stream https://www.twitch.tv/uaartur
On the stream, I was discussing a classic middlegame pattern. You know the one: Let's sacrifice on h7 ! As a reward for my optimism, this whole week turned out to be very fruitful for Greek Gift sacrifices!!
In a previous edition of My Good Games, I celebrated my highest-rated victory on Chess.com. It feels absolutely surreal, but this week I managed to repeat the achievement! I defeated an opponent whose rating was so high, I was almost afraid to look at it before the game started.
It’s amazing that I survived, let alone won. So, let's dive into this game against Ilya Nikolaev, a strong young player from Russia (FIDE 2404).
