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.
Arjun Erigaisi keeps rising in the world rankings. He is now number 4 and is working hard on closing the gap with number 3. His approach in the opening seems fairly random at first view, but everything is designed to surprise the opponent as much as possible and simply get a good game of chess. We will study his win against Armenian Grandmaster Robert Hovhannisyan in the first round of the tournament in Jermuk.
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.
