Endgame

 See this is why you need to learn endgame rather than opening. I did few mistakes in middlegame but is able to win endgame. I didn't played endgame perfectly but because I knew knight pawn is a draw if I follow some principles than I was able to convert draw into win. Thanks levy rozman (gothamchess) for his endgame video (see video below game).






Pirc?

Another quick game. Is this opening known as pirc defense? By the way, I never memorize opening. I am playing as white. I just follwed one opening principle: try to gain space at center because pieces usually maneuver easily through center. Black blundered knight and resigned. Computer analysis says 9.f5 a blunder and suggest e5 as best move. But why knight should move to h5 after pawn to e5 and sac on f4? Isn't 9.e5 Ne8 ok for black?




Budapest gambit

 Today I won queen in budapest gambit. Thanks to GM Igor Smirnov (his youtube video is given below).

Chess book

Hello everyone

I found very good book on pawn structure. Chess structures - A grandmaster guide by Mauricio Flores Rios.

Do you want me to make pgn? I will be able to make chapter wise only and that too over the time horizon of 3-4 years. Which opening you want me to target first? Personally I feel I should first cover french defense but in the book author has repeatedly referred to previous chapters so it would be a good idea to start sequentially with chapter 1. What are your opinion? Please feel free to comment.

PS:

Sorry some files of below mentioned post got deleted. I am able to recover only 3 of those.

My chess game

Today morning I played a game of chess on lichess.org. After opting for computer analysis, I found that lichess computer analysis suggested incorrect Knight move on 29th move. On move 29, lichess computer analysis suggest Nd3 but White should actually move either of King or Queen to avoid fork by my knight on e2
