This is a blitz chess game I played as white with time control 5|2. The opening played was the Queen’s Gambit Declined, Orthodox Defense. A quiet middlegame quickly occurs in this one with a couple minor pieces being exchanged. A fairly static structure is present in the center, and each side aims to activate their rooks successfully via a pawn break. White seeks play on the queenside with the typical minority attack, and black seeks plays on the kingside.
