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.
For a long time it looked like Gukesh was going to win the Tata Steel Masters, but along the way Praggnanandhaa gained momentum and caught up with the World Champion. A blitz playoff was needed to decide on the winner, and after Pragg lost the first blitz game, he then won two in a row to win the event.
As our Game of the Week we have selected Pragg's twelfth round win against Sarana, which started with very subtle opening play and finished with fireworks.
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.
