Description
Featured is a nice positional blitz chess game between Levon Aronian and Javokhir Sindarov from the 2026 USA vs Uzbekistan match. Arising out of the Bishop's Opening, Vienna Hybrid, we observe a minor piece imbalance by move 6. Given the half-opened d-file, d5 becomes a key square of interest, with many pieces and pawns directed there. What would be your plan after 16...Kb8?
