Featured is the chess game between Garry Kasparov and Vasyl Ivanchuk from the 1988 USSR Championship. Kasparov plays the English Opening where four knights are quick to arrive on their favorite squares. Once Ivanchuk places his pawn on e4, a big central battle ensues primarily over that square. Kasparov gambits a pawn and then undermines Ivanchuk’s control over e4, in large part to try to advance his central majority. Garry Kasparov’s play registered as 98% accurate in this 24-move encounter.

I'm a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who was introduced to the game by my father in 1988 at the age of 8. The purpose of this channel is to share my knowledge of chess to help others improve their game. I enjoy continuing to improve my understanding of this great game, albeit slowly.
