I Tricked a National Master! Grand Prix Attack | 2100

Here I reognize that my opponent is playing a very sharp opening and I wanted no part in his attacking plans. I implement my game plan of playing solid safe developing moves, forcing a simplification of the position, and taking advantage of a critical blunder. If you want to get your chess to the next level you have to learn how to play safe solid chess and spot weaknesses/imbalances in your opponent's position. Putting your pieces on active squares, maintaining pawn structure integrity, and coordinating your pieces lets you launch an attack on a weakness when you spot it.
