B00 Queen's Fianchetto Defence, Nimzowitsch Defense (1.e4 Nc6 2.d4 d5 3.e5 Bf5 4.Nf3)

Another short game with a nice finish. This a decent example of how I play better chess when the time controls are longer. Sure there are still some small mistakes here and there but not clearly as much big blunders as there are in shorter games. There will be couple of days that I can't update this blog but rest assured that it will continue with daily updates after this small break. Saturday and Sunday this week there will be no posts here, Monday evening I might have enough time to make a post here but I can't guarantee it. The analysis was updated on December 22nd, 2019.
