Highlighted is a Rapid game against a viewer from the livestream on 7-20-22. I played as black with the Sicilian Defense and faced the Alapin variation. This game was a positional struggle throughout with little advantage for either side until the endgame surfaced. Once the queens were exchanged, the kings entered the fray while the knights looked for opportunities to pounce. The Rapid time control for this game is 5 minutes with a 10 second increment. • PGN • 1. e4 c5 2. c3 d5 3. exd5 Qxd5 4. d4 Nf6 5. Nf3 Nc6 6. dxc5 Qxc5 7. Be3 Qa5 8. Na3 e6 9. Nb5 Nd5 10. Bd2 Qd8 11.
