@realmahadeo Sure, obviously if you look at the engine it will say it was not really a perfect game from me, but if you look at this game purely from human's perspective, i was able to completely shut his play on the queenside and he never really had anything there from the beginning, and that is the main goal when playing queen's gambit, once i was able to shut the queenside, i think i was able to perform a quite effective and unstoppable attack from human's point of view, as Stjepan said in the end.
Good game Stjepan. You had a better position than your opponent because your opponent was playing one piece down for some parts of the game which was the bad bishop on b7. Wishing you wins in your future games.
Hard luck Stjepan. A very tough tourney. You're still getting great positions in almost every game. So the problem is coming in the battle later on. Hope you find a way to fix those issues.
I personally think the Ne2 lines of the QGD are better after studying Botvinnik, and reading a 1.d4 book. Why attack on the queenside with minority attacks, when you can blow apart the center and attack on the kingside? In my own games, once the pawn started rolling or the f file got open, my opponents seemed to play like they were uncomfortable.
I was his opponent, good game Stjepan
can you provide your analysis / opinion of the game?
Yeh analysis would be nice
Maybe a joint postmortem with Stjepan

g3 committed the cardinal sin creating the hook. The opponent piled up nicely and built the pressure from there

You should do a video about the Kings indican attack
Are you playing in the Zagreb Classic? I am part of the Irish Chess Federation, Am I able to play in it?
You are, but I think there's already a waiting list. I won't be able to play. I'm moving and all I think of are boxes:D
@ Best of luck with your move🙌🙌

How come you didn't play the final round?
