HiveChess Study: Analysis Of Some Chess Games Played Over The Weekend

Hello everyone, I created a Hivechess study on https://lichess.org and I did a 20 minutes video(uploaded above @threespeak with some game analysis. I chose two games played in the recent chess events over the weekend. I tried to make the video with my analysis and without a computer assistance. But I advice players to still consult their chess software if interested in further study.

The first game was played in the 4th round of the hivechess tournament organised by @stayoutoftherz on Fridays and it was between two very strong players @tungphong (Blackswan21) and @jaki01.

I loved this game because it explains the struggles in the Open sicilian defence and how black went to a better ending but couldn't convert because of time.

Here is the pgn/Gif for Game 1.

Game 2 was an interesting game of mine against @eniolw a very strong chess player. This game was played in sunday's theme (1.e4,Nc6) organised by @schamangerbert.

It transposed to my favourite Scotch gambit pet line and I was happy to convert against a very strong player.
