Olympiad Expo Classic - Round 2 - Victory against Mohamed Saeed Laily
Today I played against Mohamed Saeed Laily, a young talented player from the United Arab Emirates.
He played the exchange variation of the slav defense with a kingside pawn storm. I made a mistake and I was forced to sacrifice a pawn to stop the attack. Slowly I was able to manover my knight to his weakened squares and in the time trouble I won a pawn and got a winning endgame.

I created a few training exercises from the game:
