In this video course, twenty-nine examples with multiple questions are presented in the interactive format, which is ideal for a range of playing strengths. Step by step you will be taken through the complex positions.
I have a closer look at the tenth game of the World Championship match. In the English Opening, Ding deviated with 4.e4 from 4.e3, which he had successfully employed in game 4. Nepo was very well-prepared and caught Ding by surprise with 9...Bc5!?. Thanks to an online game he played back in 2020, he managed to neutralize White’s initiative quite comfortably.
Now I will share an update on the position after 1.c4 e5 2.Nc3 Nf6 3.Nf3 Nc6 4.e4 Bc5 5.Nxe5 Nxe5 6.d4 Bb4 7.dxe5 Nxe4 8.Qf3 Nxc3 9.bxc3 and evaluate the current status of Nepo’s move as well as the main alternatives 9...Ba5 and 9...Be7.
