Game-A-Day (August 28, 2017)
I didn't get a chance to play one yesterday, so sorry for the wait!
This game was okay. My opponent completely blew it early but my conversion wasn't so good.
What I learned:
- The early Nbd7 idea screws up all of white's tricks.
- Knights are terrible against passed pawns, as long as their movement is restricted.
- Zugswang is a powerful weapon against knights.
- You learn more when you lose lol...
