we have the rare scandinavian defense on the board!

an unusual opening treatment by arjun

White generally castles long in the opening, not prefering to castle on the kingside. This may enable Black to mount an onslaught on the white king.

An unusual position in the Scandinavian, where both the players have castled on opposite sides and are ready to attack each other. Let the fireworks begin soon!

Lots of simplifications have happened, bringing down the excitement quotient of the game. White retains a slight advantage here, mainly duet o possessoin of the bishop pair. It remains to be seen if he can make any progress i the position.

??MISTAKE??

Black commits a mistake, bringing his knight out on a misadventure. White should be able to gain an edge by attacking the knight in the future.

White has a huge advantage here, as he has somewhat solidified his kingside.

White now is ready to start his onslaught on the queenside, which is not a good sign for Black.

??BLUNDER??

Black blunders a pawn, allowing White to gain a decisive advantage in material as well as initiative.

black is helpless against pressure applied by the white pieces. apart from having an extra pawn, white threatens to win another pawn, as well as controls the crucial open file

A sudden end to the game! White rooks will now thoroughly dominate the position, invading through the proverbial seventh rank. Skytte resigned here.
