Dear Chess Friends, A very special thing happened to me last night. I wanted to play one more blitz game online, so I clicked on the 'Play' button and the system gave me Fabiano Caruana as my opponent! At first, I couldn’t believe my eyes, so I needed to check his username three times, but it was true… I was so excited! We played a crazy game with a wonderful checkmate at the end, that was a huge experience for me, so I wanted to share it with you. I made a video analysis of it, I hope you'll enjoy the game!

You’ll always miss things if you don’t use a structured thinking method, that’s the basis of everything.
