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.
India has a dream team at the Olympics: Gukesh can become the youngest World Champion in history in November, so of course he is on board 1. They typically put their most solid man on board 2, which is Praggnanandhaa. The natural born killer is on 3, which is Erigaisi, even though he is the highest rated player. Having Vidit on board 4, who was a candidate earlier this year, completes the picture. Our game of the week is Erigaisi's endgame squeeze from round 6.
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.
