Attack like a Super Grandmaster
In this Fritztrainer: “Attack like a Super GM†with Gukesh we touch upon all aspects of his play, with special emphasis on how you can become a better attacking player.
The Grand Swiss is over and was won by Vidit, who scored an amazing 8.5 out of 11, played some fantastic games and became sole first.
But one of the biggest clashes of the tournament was the game between the world number two, Fabiano Caruana, and the world number three, Hikaru Nakamura. They played in the penultimate round, Nakamura had White and the fans were not disappointed. We choose it as our Game of the Week, as it is yet another reminder that opposite coloured bishops are an excellent winning weapon.
Warm-up question: What would you play here with White?
In this opening Black opts for active piece play and is not afraid to fight for the initiative from an early stage. One of the many good features of this opening is that Black is often the side which controls the pace of the game.
