♔ HIVE CHESS COACHING: Friday's Tournament (Lichess Study included!) ♟

Hey everyone! Especially to the members of the Hive Chess Community! I bring you another lesson of our traditional series of Chess Coaching for #HiveChess. I finally was able to upload this videos after trying several days, I hope you appreciate it.

So, in the video I go over a couple of games played last week in the Friday tournament hosted by @StayOutOfTheRZ. The first game is @AnomadSoul vs @agreste. Actually, there is not so much analysis about this game per se, but there is an important lesson behind it, especially for beginners or starterup players who incorrectly give priority to opening study over tactic study. So, hear my talk because is going to help you!

The second game is between @agreste and SchamanGerbert that illustrates very well the typical opening and middlegame strategy of the Leningrad Dutch, a sharp defense that is risky to play, but can also pay off if you get the hang of it. @SchamanGerbert treatment of it is very clean and instructive. So, you better take a look at it.

Of course, you can take a look a the public Lichess Study I created for this lesson. Feel free to join and download it if you wish.

The video is self-explanatory, so I hope you enjoy watching it. Don't forget to share the post and video and let me know what you think in the comments section.

Finally, I congratulate and thank @schamangerbert for his idea to organize thematic training tournaments on Saturdays. That's great for us to practice these ideas and improve, even when it is Chess 960. And with the same enthusiasm I want to invite everyone to join the weekend tournaments we are having, like the traditional Friday tournament with @stayoutoftherz and the new Sunday Chess Brothers League by @chessbrotherspro.
