Following are the individual games from round 2 of our June Mini-Marathon (chapters 11-21 in the tournament study). These Lichess studies may not be the best way to share games given some minor UX issues with the feature but we’ll continue to use them for this event, at least. Lots of interesting games and the worthy up-and-down struggle between John and Ziyu ended with a demonstration of the power of three connected passed pawns. Well played, everyone!
