My Chess Game Collection #87. Nimzowitsch Defense: Kennedy, Linksspringer Variation
Click and watch the game in GIF file! I played with Blacks on 03/08/2020. Blacks built up positional strength and could have finished the game faster, however, there was a missed opportunity. Regardless, Blacks prevailed.

Nice game with active center play! :)
What I noticed:
Here I stopped watching, as anyway your postion was clearly won.
Actually, a proper pgn file would easier to watch (as one can import it into any chess data base) than an animated gif which one cannot stop when some thinking is required.
Thanks for watching and analyzing. It encourages me to play more! I have never used a pgn file. I will see if I can place one in my next post, but I would like to know how you open such a file.
A normal text editor does the job, but of course the best way is to use any chess software to open it as an easy way to replay a chess game.
