Game of the Week #554

Last weekend we had a lovely Bundesliga weekend in Hamburg where the Hamburger SK was host. Many hard-working helpers from the club organised a colourful and entertaining supporting programme and turned the event into a big chess party!

Daniil Yuffa, who plays for Doppelbauer Kiel, celebrated his own chess party and defeated Frederik Svane, who plays for the Hamburger SK, in great style.

Warm-up question: What would you play here with White?

 

This week’s show

The flexible Open Spanish

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.

60m The London System

If you are looking for a new attacking plan against the popular Queen’s Gambit, then this download is for you. Completely new ideas after 1.d4 d5 2.Bf4 turn the solid London system into a serious weapon. New approaches and Fritz analyses will catch out an unprepared opponent. Henrik Danielsen used this system to win the Icelandic blitz championship in 2011. Some strong GMs and IMs didn't realise the danger before it was too late. Even after Black’s best defence White will be able to fight for an advantage. After watching 60 minutes you have a total opening plan against the Queen’s Gambit.
