ChessNetwork Video 8 days ago

Descrizione

Featured is a sharp chess game from the 2026 Biel International Chess Festival. Arising out of the French Defense, Classical, we observe the rare 7.Bd3. Bluebaum's reaction is to quickly expand on the queenside. How would you respond to 8...b5?

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.
