FletchMK64's studies

Due to popular demand (from one person) I've decided to keep making little studies of my games every so often, if I play something that I think others might find interesting or learn from. I'm equally happy to have a go at other people's games, if anyone's interested (please PM me if you are).

Instead of putting each study in its own thread, I thought I'd keep them all together, and write a new response each time I make a new study. I might also post links in one of the "Themes" threads as appropriate.

So here's my latest, which was a deceptively tactical game I played earlier today. I found it quite entertaining and hopefully instructive.

"All the Pins":

And here's some I made earlier:

"Interesting French Exchange"
en.lichess.org/study/6edCiKAA
Some accurate calculation followed by good endgame technique.

"Powerful Bishops"
en.lichess.org/study/pTyMnTDy
A fun miniature showcasing the bishop pair.

"Dominating a Square"
en.lichess.org/study/OEMZ1ajD
A positional game against a dark-square setup.

"Ruy Lopez - knight manoeuvres"
en.lichess.org/study/xnHK83wM
Thematic moves in the 6.d3 Ruy Lopez.

Please let me know (by replying or 'liking') if you like these studies, and if I should make more!

Well explained.
Make an youtube channel.

Thanks @lifsitch - it's something I've vaguely thought of, but don't feel I have the time or the tech. Maybe one day!

Having said I don't have time, I have added a new study following the request from @seriouschesstraining here:

en.lichess.org/forum/game-analysis/need-help-to-study-my-game

"Mirages"
en.lichess.org/study/R7DrlXGZ
The merits of long-term strategy over one-move threats

Studies are a pleasure to read, and are very appealing to read. Would recommend!

Thanks again @pranav15!

Here's one that's mostly an endgame study, a friendly game I played over the board this evening.

"A tempo is everything..."
en.lichess.org/study/b1eI40FZ

The whole game from about move 25 is quite interesting, but particularly the ending with knight vs pawns, where the knight wins by a single tempo.

"Nb1 - a touch of class"
en.lichess.org/study/YJRpl1Sd
Some light analysis on a couple of recent super-GM games, linked by the undeveloping move Nd2-b1.
