Anna Rudolf's firs step to becoming an International Master - Chess Poster

Anna Rudolf, one of the most famous chess streamers on Twitch, had an outstanding performance in Biel in 2014. With this game, she earned one of her norms to become an International Master.

In this position, Black is struggling, because of their weak king. The black queen is stuck on the queenside and the f pawn is missing from the defence. In this position, White aims to concentrate all their pieces closer to the black king, and the one remaining piece, which is not participating in the attack at the moment, also joins the fight with Nd5!!. This move prepares an exchange after exd5 with Bxd7, otherwise, White gets a very nice space advantage and Black's position becomes even more unconfortable. After the exchange, Anna managed to utilize the light square weaknesses in Black’s position and having no way to defend their king, Black resigned.
