Tamizh tricks Keymer!

By Devansh Singh

The game itself is a perfect example of Tamizh's resistance. He had a really bad position out of the opening, and Keymer missed a mating combination to finish the game. Most players get nervous when they notice they could have lost a few moves ago, but this was not the case with Tamizh. He came back from a losing position and played a solid sequence of attacking moves to win the game.

The Keymer Variation - 1.Nf3 d5 2.e3

This video course features the ins-and-outs of the possible setups Black can choose. You’ll learn the key concepts and strategies needed to add this fantastic opening to your repertoire. An easy-to-learn and yet venomous weapon.

You can see the boy's dedication in the picture below, sitting on the floor with his laptop on a pillow. His dad, Sathish, is sitting there to keep an eye on his talented son. And finally, the candle in the bottom corner, helping to keep some light on, but the brightest source of light isn't that candle, it's the boy Tamizh himself!

The picture was clicked by his dad, Sathish, just after Tamizh defeated Keymer!

Out of 960 possible positions in Freestyle Chess, position 880 was chosen randomly for the first round of Freestyle Friday, and Tamizh was playing with black against Keymer.

Tamizh played 9...Ne8, and Keymer could have won the game right here with 10.Bxh7 (the Greek Gift sacrifice), but he castled, and that gave Tamizh a chance to avoid checkmate.

Keymer had 57 seconds left, and he just took one second before playing this move, and it turned out to be a huge disaster, as Tamizh found a brilliant attacking idea starting with 22...Nh4 followed by 23...Rg6, winning the exchange after a few more moves.

Tamizh finished the game in style by playing 44...a5!, and Keymer resigned.
