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.
Encounters between world champions are always interesting, and so was the game between Magnus Carlsen and Ding Liren from the sixth round of Norway Chess. In a Benoni with colours reversed, Magnus chose a very interesting strategy that required a precise response from Black. Ding Liren, in good form, would probably have found good counterplay with Black, but as the game progressed he got into trouble and the finish was one of the most shocking of the year.
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.
