Here is a fun blitz game with some interesting details in regard to the Scandinavian Defence and how to take advantage of inaccuracies made by your opponent.
This game (while far from perfect) highlights the idea of gaining time or “a tempo” in chess. When you develop a piece while attacking you can force the opponent to waste time moving their pieces around the board. My opponent in the game continued to move their queen around the board and this gave me the time I needed to get all of my pieces in on the action. There is a nice mating sequence at the end of the game too. Can you spot it?
This was an interesting blitz game. My opponent played a weak opening that gave me a slight advantage from the start and then the game had a few interesting attacking ideas along with a few missed ideas.
Here is a fun blitz game where I made an opening error in the Queens Gambit – Slav, but followed up with solid play. It highlights the idea of king activity and placing pressure on backward pawns.
