Featured is the chess game between Alexei Shirov and Garry Kasparov from the 1997 Linares chess tournament. Kasparov opts for an Anti-English Attack out of the Sicilian Najdorf. Once Kasparov is in possession of an unopposed light-squared bishop, notice how he continually creates light-square weaknesses in Shirov’s camp. Interestingly, Kasparov’s play in the opening and middlegame on the light-squares finishes in the endgame with a tactical strike on the dark squares!

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.
