Two young, talented Indian players are having a great start to the spring. In Reykjavik, Praggnanandhaa came out on top, defeating Gukesh in the final round. They then both travelled on to La Roda in Spain, and this time Gukesh won with 8/9 and Pragg came third with 7/9.
Gukesh defeated Victor Mikhalevski in La Roda’s final round. White to play and win.
And how did Pragg win here with White?
One more from a game by Pragg. How did he continue his initiative? White to play.

After 1.c4 e5 2.Nc3 Nf6 3.Nf3 e4 Black is giving up a pawn. By sacrificing the e-pawn, Black gains a lot of time harassing the white knight and seizes the initiative in the centre.
In this two-part course the emphasis will be on typical pawn-structures. “Open and half-open files” and “the pawn chain” will be covered extensively on this video course. New: now also available as stream!
The topic on this video course is the so-called “hedgehog system” which is characterised by at least four black pawns on the sixth rank which we call the “spikes” of the hedgehog.
