Plenty of exciting chess was seen at the recent Russian Superfinals, so much so that “Game of the Week” host Merijn van Delft changed his mind at the last minute as Daniil Dubov was about to score a fantastic win over Sergey Karjakin while he was starting to record the show.
Luckily for Daniel King, Van Delft’s original choice was also a brilliant encounter. In it, the now two-time Russian champion took down Andrey Esipenko’s Petroff Defence. ‘Nepo’ gave up a piece for an attack and then showed great precision to convert his advantage into a full point.
Can you find Nepomniachtchi’s continuation in the following position? How should White pursue the attack?
At the start of the show, King shows the solution to last week’s problem by Odette Vollenweider. At the end, the English grandmaster presents a new one for all viewers to solve, this one by André Chéron, a French theorist who established rules in some types of rook endgames and was named a FIDE International Master of Chess Composition in 1959, the first year the title was awarded.
Here is this week’s problem: White to play and mate in 2.
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!
