Battling the Smith Morra Gambit | Classical Chess

In this video, I play in a game against Kholpilova (2331) in the Monthly Classical Arena on lichess.org. The game features a Smith Morra Gambit in which I share my preparation from the black side. After the game, I share some analysis of the critical lines and traps from both perspectives, inspired by the legendary IM Marc Esserman.
