Attack like a Super Grandmaster
In this Fritztrainer: “Attack like a Super GM†with Gukesh we touch upon all aspects of his play, with special emphasis on how you can become a better attacking player.
The 86th edition of the Tata Steel Chess Tournament in Wijk aan Zee has started and before the first rest day Dutch number one Anish Giri was leading with 3.5 out of 4, while World Champion Ding Liren was on 50%. We were going to make Giri-Gukesh our Game of the Week, but then Anish insisted that we take Maghsoodloo-Abdusattorov instead. And indeed, although the game is not without its flaws, it was 'a real game', as the tournament director said.
Warm-up question: What would you play here with Black?
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.
