Blitz Chess #404: Levitsky Attack

This is a game from the 2017 Autumn Marathon where I was playing with the white pieces in a Levitsky Attack. With black’s f5, the game transitions to a Dutch structure where some attention must then be given to key squares on the e-file. The structure changes some after this, with some energy next built up on the kingside, and only released when the white monarch is ready. The time control was 3 minutes with a 2-second increment.

I’m a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who was introduced to the game by my father in 1988 at the age of 8.
