Jeet - Kartavya, Round 7

Position after 27.Qa6

27.Qg2 would have held White's kingside together. However, 27.Qa6 moving the queen away from the king's defense did not turn out to be a good idea. 27...h4 28.Kf1 Ref5 and White's position fell apart in a hurry.

About the Author

From the city of nawabs and a graduate in mechanical engineering, I think “jack of all trades” is what would describe me the best. Interested in a lot of fields such as photography, chess, writing, reading, philosophy, psychology, gardening, and many others, I am someone who believes that constant learning is the way to grow. Having loved chess all my life, I have recently started studying it and want to play at least one professional tournament in my life. Chess and photography are my two loves and I would like to combine them and convert them into a profession someday.
