My first win vs. an IM! game type: Standard 40/40

So excited to have beaten an IM in classical time controls (albeit in a simul with 21 other players)

All is fair and square on a great tactic that he missed!

It was a simul, your title is misleading.

Yes a simul but well played though since only 1 inacc...

Thanks! It was a big win!

well played!

Well played. By any chance did you learn the Gruenfeld from Svidlers excellent series on it?

Thanks! I learned the grunfeld by hiring a chess coach right here on li-chess! If you're interested, the IM I hired created a study available for free and that covers all these lines.

So another example of 'paying for a trainer pays out' :-) Nice game.

Yes, the study is by Falkenauge, en.lichess.org/study/search?q=falkenauge

Have a look, it's somewhere. We also studied reverse grundfeld lines (with white).
