Lovely game of the Vienna Main Line
#viennagame #viennagambit
I love playing the Vienna Gambit and it isn’t often I actually get to play the Main Line. The Vienna Game Main Line starts when the player with the black pieces declines the Vienna Gambit with d5, which is the best theoretical move, and arguably, the only good move. This often results in a fun dynamic game. This game shows some of the ideas from the Main Line.
In the Vienna Main Line, a decision often needs to be made in the opening on whether to capture the opponent’s knight with the b- or d-pawn. Capturing with the b-pawn opened up the file for the rook, which ended up being very strong in the middle game, and critical in the checkmate. My opponent made a strategic error in castling queenside given that I already had the advantage in attacking on that side of the board.
I hope you found this video interesting, and thanks for watching!
