Leo's Chess Games #02

By Leo Gura - December 13, 2024

Another of my Fischer Random games. I played as white against a 1500 rated bot.

The middle game got very clogged up and tense as I was in trouble from black’s queen. But I was able to fend him off until I opened up the position by flanking black from the right-hand side of the board at move 23. Then things got beautiful at move 36-39 where I found a way to pin black’s queen to the king. The bot made a few obvious mistakes which made the game easier for me than it should have been. But black was being very tricky with his queen in the early game. I thought I would lose until I decided to flank around the other side of the board.

The early game in Fischer Random can get very tricky as there are many unusual ways to blunder pieces or cripple your position. In this game black found some sneaky queen play that put me on the back foot.
