Game of the Week #645
While Aravindh managed to beat both Erigaisi and Aronian in the tiebreaks to impressively win the Chennai Grand Masters, it was Erigaisi who played the most enterprising chess.
We will have a look at Tabatabaei-Erigaisi from the fourth round as our Game of the Week.
Warm-up question: What would you play here with Black?
A. Tabatabaei - A. Erigaisi, Chennai Masters 2024
This week's show
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.
