Internal Tournament game analysed on YouTube by Coach Andras

International Master and chess coach Andras Toth is one of the best educational chess content creators sharing videos on YouTube. A number of Lichfield players are avid followers of his videos and Chessable courses.

Earlier in the season, Lichfield player Albert Chacko was delighted to beat higher-rated Mircea Mesesan in the Lichfield Internal Tournament, and, as a fan of Andras' videos, shared the game with him to see what he thought of his victory.

He was delighted to find that Andras then devoted a whole video to analysing the game! Here is the video for you to enjoy:

Albert was the eventual winner of the Lichfield Internal, finishing with 6.5/7, with Mircea finishing second on 6/7.
