Fritz 17 - The giant PC chess program, now with Fat Fritz
The most popular chess program offers you everything you will need as a dedicated chess enthusiast, with innovative training methods for amateurs and professionals alike.
The group stage of the FIDE GP has come to an end. Last week we saw Andreikin's win in the first round and indeed he went on to win group A.
Anish Giri consolidated his early lead in group B and MVL came out on top in the heavy group D.
In group C the early lead was taken by Vidit, but in their mutual encounters Rapport took over. We will study the first of these as our Game of the Week, which is a true positional masterpiece. The video is recorded in the Chessbase studio, with special guest GM Karsten Mueller!
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.
