Using the Initiative

8 year old Idnani twins - Roshan and Taran participated in U8 Invitational in June 2012. I am presenting Roshan's game which was featured in August 2012 edition of Chess Life for Kids magazine with title America's Best Chess Kids Battle in New Online Championship.

Current USCF ratings Roshan - 1609 and Taran - 1705.

white: Idnani, Roshan
black: Levkov, Daniel

The game is a lesson on 'using the initiative'. When Black has played the unnecessary 5. .. h6 move, Roshan does not want to give Black time to regain balance and complete development. So you will notice that on almost every move he makes a threat.

The following is Roshan's another game - his favorite from the same tournament. Enjoy.

white: Idnani, Roshan
black: Suryawanshi, Rohan

Appreciate your comments.
