Road to 2500 - Day 11 - English Opening, Knight Power

Yesterday was the first day after the Olympiad Expo Classic tourney in which I participated in the last 10 days and got 4th place. 

I was teaching 5 hours and had only time for 1 game on my road to 2500.

I fianchettoed my bishop against the English opening and gave up my bishop for his c3 knight to create double-isolated pawns. Later I was able to win the c4 pawn, but he got a strong attack on the kingside. I allowed him a strong attack which he did not use and then I was able to block it and put my 2 knight on great outposts on e5 and c4 and penetrated on the queenside to win the game.

You can watch how I played and streamed the game:
