Chess Game Play - Blitz Game

We take a look at a blitz game I played today that I thought everyone could learn from. In all my videos I try to tie together all the concepts I've taught about together and hopefully watching some of my game play you can really start to learn a little more. Hope this helps.

When you first put your knight on b6, he never moved the rook

from c8, and you did not take? Why ?

nice video!

I felt like my knight was very nicely placed. When I am attacking my opponent and I have most of my pieces involved and am going for a checkmate I don't want to trade off pieces. I honestly thought I could find a checkmate soon at the position. The game ended up going a lot longer than I had envisioned by I wanted to keep the pressure on him and not give up my knight at the moment.

Keep in mind though it's a blitz so I was not playing perfect but that's at least my reasoning for it.

@sidgar1 I'm going to go ahead and count how many times he said it

Hi kevin, when is it a good idea to push your queen/king pawn further up. (you pushed d4 to d5).... I was under the impression that it leads to a less sound position..

on 8:30 you could have won the pawn by taking with the knight the bishop and after he takes with the queen u take the pawn on g4

How many times do you say Im gonna "go ahead" and...

Seriously dude?

When u traded off your light squared bishop instead if you brought your queen to h5 you would have had check mate

@8:13 If you wanted to trade off, wouldn't Nxd6 have been better? And after Qxd6 play Qc5+ forcing the queen exchange.
