Looking forward to the Speed Chess Championship

No matter what people think of chess.com it's hard to deny that they organise some of the most fun events. I'm also happy seeing Alireza playing so much again and Daniel Naroditsky and Aman returning as commentator duo.

Halloween Gambit

The season is coming up, and when white plays nxe5 it's pretty much a jumpscare for black. Black usually takes back with the knight, which allows d4 and forces the knight to g6. Then white continues the attack with e5 gaining even more space. Very fun way to play the game, I'm going to be studying this for October.

My favorite opening

Absolutely love playing The Urusov Gambit. Leads to very tactics heavy games where black has to make some tough decisions early on.
