Power Play 20: Test Your Attacking Chess
Grandmaster Daniel King presents ten exemplary attacking performances. At key moments he stops and asks you to play a move. King then gives feedback on the most plausible continuations. It’s the next best thing to having your own personal trainer!
Ian Nepomniachtchi uncorked powerful preparation and could’ve won under 20 moves. However, he let things slip, and after Svidler’s 18…g5! the game got complicated.
Yannick Pelletier got a decent, complicated position out of opening against Viswanathan Anand, but got a little passive and then Vishy was on to him like a Tiger catching a deer. You can see Anand showing his claws to the Swiss before the game even began. Yannick should have taken a hint...
A very lively game that kept a strong double-edged nature well into the endgame. Not for the faint of heart.
Ian Nepomniachtchi faces a very aggressive and active Boris Gelfand, and Daniel King starts the game after the swords have already been drawn and a few test swipes made upon which a wonderful strategic battle ensues.
It was vintage Nakamura, who exploited a single innacuracy by Ian Nepomniachtchi to send the Russian packing. A lesson on how to exploit an advantage with minimal effort.
