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 Tata Steel Chess Tournament had a spectacular finish with four players sharing first place after a very exciting final round: Giri, Wei Yi, Abdusattorov and Gukesh. The four-player Blitz play-off was also very exciting and it was Wei Yi who managed to keep his nerves under control best.
Helping Ding Liren in his World Championship match must have helped, and in the final round against Vidit, which is our Game of the Week, Wei Yi used the Colle system, a set-up Ding Liren used successfully in the World Championship.
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.
