IM SHARMA DUSHANT: Courage arises in those who seek victory.

02/April 2024/ IM Dushyant’s victory was remarkable, showcasing his tenacity and strategic prowess. Defeating a Super Grandmaster is like winning the lottery—an incredible achievement indeed.

The 2nd featured game: I never imagined it would come to this final position where both the king and queen are in jeopardy. I’m somewhat convinced that the reason white couldn’t castle was due to unnecessary piece movements that delayed the king’s safety, which is castling. I hope you enjoyed this game. Have a nice day.
