A Brilliant Move On MVP Day!!

In my first game on the "MVP Day" stream, I had the white pieces and played the Queen's Gambit Exchange Variation. Instead of opting for the minority attack with Rab1-b4-b5, I played a more aggressive variation popularized by Botvinnik and Kasparov. In this variation, white develops with f3, Nge2, and looks to create a central pawn roller with e4!

After favorable minor pieces exchanges, I achieved a good knight vs. bad bishop position. My knight was primed to take advantage of the weak dark squares in black's position. After black's queen took a time-consuming sortie on the queenside to win a pawn, I landed a decisive blow on the kingside. Check out the move 26. Nf6!!
