In this continuation of the “Climbing the Rating Ladder” series I take on players of various ratings levels while pointing out typical mistakes and spots for improvement along the way (possibly my own!? :)). Here I commentate a 5+5 game against a player rated 1895 on Chess.com. I play the Tarrasch Variation against the French Defense (1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nd2) and attempt to massage a small advantage with the d4 pawn restricting Black’s d5/e6 duo, but my opponent has other plans with his deft, confident play! #Chess #ChessInstruction #ClimbingTheRatingLadder
