MSK Chess's video: Chess lesson: Pawn wedge II

This is a follow up presentation to the original in which we covered the positional concept of the pawn wedge. In this particular game, black is the one that creates the pawn wedge in the centre of the chess board, however he fails to realise his own plan and white begins a counteraction. White brilliantly sacrifices a pawn to get access to the light squares in the centre of the board and neutralises the powerful effect of blacks pawn wedge which rather than hindering the mobility of the white chessmen, becomes burdensome to him. In the end Grandmaster Levenfish makes a single catastrophic mistake and fails to press home the win and the game ends up a draw. Never the less its a beautiful and strategically rich game to play through and I am sure you will enjoy it - kind regards MSK_Chess (robbie) As ever my thanks go to the software developers who made this chess video possible through the generous sharing of their resources and to those artists who's material I have used.
