With the Lion’s Defense, black places a great value on the e5 strongpoint. When, if at all, should this point be given up? In a game of opposite sides castling, the element of time will factor in a great deal. If giving up the e5 point would aid in expediting a push against the enemy king, it would be worth at least some consideration. Who would be quicker to execute an attack? This was a 5|0 time control game, where I was playing with the black pieces.

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.
