The Checkmate Chronicles

Hey there! I’m Hariharan Ananthakrishnan, a sophomore at the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy (IMSA). In this blog, I will be analyzing and reviewing games played by masters and myself, as well as different openings. I started this blog to help intermediates and novices understand chess in a simpler way, by using my own thought process as a framework they can follow. In my free time, I love to read, play quizbowl, chat with friends, and expand my chess knowledge.
