IQP positions

The Topic for the Intermediate class for Avant Garde Chess Academy this week is IQP.

Here is a game where I played against the IQP against a 2350 player in 2016.

Some general comments on playing against the IQP is you want to trade pieces because the Isolated pawn becomes more of a weakness as more and more pieces come off the board. You will have to neutralise the activity that the IQP gives your opponent and then enjoy the benefits in the endgame.

In the game I'm about to show you, my opponent had no chances to create meaningful active play against my position. In fact, he never had a chance to create active play because of some opening inaccuracies.

Hope you enjoy the game here
