Video annotated game: Torre and Semi-Slav

A Queen’s Pawn game, featuring a 2.Bg5 Torre / Trompowski style attack against a Semi-Slav / Cambridge Springs style defence. As Black, I sacrifice a pawn, castle long and form a triple-battery on the g-file (Queen + 2 x Rooks), and then point every piece at the poor g2 pawn.

In the end, the piece pressure overwhelms White, and it’s a comfortable victory, giving me a win against an opponent rated 500 points higher!
