In Desperate Positions, Attack | Climbing the Rating Ladder vs. River137 (1731)

In this continuation of the "Climbing the Rating Ladder" series I take on players of various ratings levels while pointing out typical mistakes and spots for improvement along the way (possibly my own!? :)). Here I commentate a 5+5 game against a player rated 1731 on Chess.com. Working against the London System, I quickly nab the bishop pair with ...Nf6-h5. My opponent responds solidly, but refuses to establish the e4/d4 pawn duo. I set my queenside pawn avalanche in motion, and White must scramble for counterplay. #Chess #ChessInstruction #ClimbingTheRatingLadder
