STRATEGY vs TACTICS… the clash is UNAVOIDABLE!

In this instructive chess game, I try to impose my strategic plan right from the opening by targeting my opponent’s pawn structure.
However, the presence of opposite-colored bishops makes the position sharper and more tense, paving the way for complications.
My opponent seizes the opportunity to surprise me with tactical play.

In the opening, I play the O’Kelly Variation of the Sicilian Defense — a rare but tricky line, characterized by the move 2...a6.

My name is Marc Quenehen, I am a renowned French chess coach, and I want to share my passion for strategy with the English-speaking audience. Fascinated by the game and its history, I discovered chess at the age of 19 and quickly immersed myself in its study alongside International Grandmaster Iossif Dorfman, former coach of Garry Kasparov.

Today, I dedicate myself to teaching strategic principles, making them accessible to everyone, regardless of their playing level. Through educational videos, I share advice on openings, tips to avoid traps, and keys to better understand strategic and tactical play, from the middlegame to the endgame.
