Game of the Week #618
This week we return to the Sigeman & Co tournament in Sweden. Last week we discussed a game by Erigaisi, who finished in a tie for first place with Svidler and Abdusattorov. After the youngsters both beat the veteran in the lightning play-off, they met for the title and it was Abdusattorov who emerged victorious. Not only that, but he also moved up to fifth in the world rankings.
It was his win with the black pieces against Keymer that is our Game of the Week.
Warm-up question: What would you play here with Black?
V. Keymer - N. Abdusattorov, TePe Sigeman Tournament, Malmö 2024
This week’s show
Part 1
Part 2
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.
