This is a blitz chess game I played as black with time control 5|2. The opening was a Queen’s Gambit Declined by transposition. The activation of black’s queen bishop can sometimes be a little difficult with a white bishop deployed early to g2. If black can get the queen bishop working, equality in the position is usually not far off. An ending with opposite colored bishops is not necessarily a draw, especially when each side still possesses a rook, and pawns fixed on the same color as that of the opposing bishop.

first

Interesting game, I actually learned some things. Awesome video (:
Great video as always! Do you consider playing longer games? For instance 10 or 15 minutes games?
Jerry, it's nice to know I'm not the only one out there dropping rooks!
☺️
Jerry-Wednesday-Wesley So-Lichess yes or no? It is blitz 3+0… please play and stream, please 🙂 Did I say please?
Jerry, are you considering playing tomorrow's ChessWhiz Cup III (Crazyhouse) or next week's GM Wesley So Blitz arena (3+0, with Wesley So!)?
You know what piss me off Jerry, when you lose on time, i mean i come here to learn from your playing and also see how you smash your opponent and for like one month and a half that hasn't happened, i want to see the Jerry i subscribed, that Jerry was competitive and smashed a lot of people, also i'd like to see you berserking once in a while to opponents, well i know that you never actually have prefered it, but it would be nice, and perhaps in these days you probably have a problem that is messing with your chess, i see all your vids, all of then, i have the notifications activated with you and i hope you in the future will start smashing people around playing more aggresive and improving.. that way the people who follow you will improve too
at the 7:50 ish position was bxa3 available? winning a pawn? Nice vid as always.
"How did this one end? I dropped my rook. laugh Does that ever happen with you? It happens with me." It's things like this that make you so great to follow. 🙂
why did you change the title
Have you ever considered playing games like this with a face-cam? That'd be so awesome to see!!
I was shouting Rd2 at my screen (between the queen and the rook). You would win the b-pawn. Unless I'm looking at it the wrong way.
Hey Jerry, you ask yourself the question "where does my bishop belong" in almost every game, but I am in many games unsure of be2,bd3, to pin the knight etc. Is the motif behind knowing where the bishop belongs further explained in any of your videos?Thanks!
