HiveChess Study (2) : Analysis Of Chess Games Played Over The Weekend

▶️ Watch on 3Speak

---

Hello everyone, It another Tuesday and like last week, I contributed to the #HiveChess Study on https://lichess.org. I did another game analysis video which I recommend you watch as I did my best in explaining some important ideas.
We had three events played over the weekend so I picked one game each from the three tournaments.As usual the Analysis were carried out without a computer assistance but players are free to check what the computer thinks instead.

Game 1

The first game was played in the last round of the Hivechess (fridays) event. It was another game between @tungphong (Blackswan21) vs @jaki01 (Jaki01). But this time Blackswan21 emerged victorious. It is an interesting game. As we all know that Jaki01 is a opening specialist and loves opening experiments.
But Yeah!😄 this time, he was punished quickly in the opening, In the video above I explained the ideas in between his experiments and how his opponent played with a key factor in chess.

Game 2

I picked a game from the thematic tournament on Saturday organized by @schamangerbert.
It was a very instructive game as I fell to a classical Good knight vs Bad Bishop Endgame to @stayoutoftherz.
In the video above, I explained my thoughts while playing and how I could have maybe turned things around.

Game 3

For the final game,I picked a game won by the brilliant @rosmarly in the @chessbrotherspro New League.

She played a decent line against the English opening and ended up spotting a key winning move in a spectacular tactical position.
