Beware of inbetweeners | Grünfeld Defense, Russian variation - Standard Chess #56

I late-joined a Rapid tournament while I was livestreaming. Highlighted is the 2nd game I played in the event. I had the white pieces and opted for the Russian variation in reply to my opponent's Grünfeld Defense. As a result of 5...c6 instead of 5...dxc4, the game proceeded along calmer waters instead the Grünfeld Defense's typical sharp/dynamic lines. There were a couple moments in this game where a Zwischenzug (and in-between move) played a role in my thinking. The Rapid time control for this game is 10 minutes with a 0 second increment.

I'm a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who was introduced to the game by my father in 1988 at the age of 8. The purpose of this channel is to share my knowledge of chess to help others improve their game. I enjoy continuing to improve my understanding of this great game, albeit slowly.
