Alexey Shirov’s knights are maxed out 

Featured is the game between Alexey Shirov and Magaram Magomedov from 1989. In response to Magomedov's idea of deploying his bishop to f5, Shirov, still a teenager during this game, spices up the Queen's Gambit Declined with his 7th move, f3. Shortly thereafter, a dynamic position emerges, including a material advantage, multiple isolated pawns, an unopposed bishop, a slight lead in development, and an uncastled king. After the 26th move, we witness an aesthetic positioning of Shirov’s knights who cover a maximum number of squares in Magomedov’s camp.
I'm a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who was introduced to the game by my father in 1988 at the age of 8. The purpose of this channel is to share my knowledge of chess to help others improve their game. I enjoy continuing to improve my understanding of this great game, albeit slowly.
