This game shows an example of how Black's central control can be increased if white decides to capture with his/her d4 knight on c6.
It is important to take from this game that Black is often trying to get in the move d5. This move when timed well can give Black equality in the opening and at times an initiative.
Enjoy!

Anand Vs. Kasparov
An interesting Gruenfeld in which Anand plays Qb3 and Kasparov plays Na6 followed by an early c5. This was a very different way to handle this opening and is instuctive for Gruenfeld players.

King's Indian Defense
This video reminds us that White is usually looking for queenside play in the KID and that playing with a Queen alone will not have you mating your opponents.

Fortuna (1599) - Brereton (1367)
Justin Brereton is a very strong player and has beaten me since this game was played. I just wanted to share this game as it has an interesting mating net at the end. Enjoy!

Neat bishops of opposite color endgame
This is a rare game in which white has a light square bishop and black has a black square bishop, but black with 2 extra pawns is able to force a technical win.
