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.
Probably next week we will examine all the action from the European Championship, while today we look at the American Cup. The schedule at these elite American events is often quite complicated, but the bottom line is that Nakamura managed to beat Caruana in the final, impressively keeping his rating above 2800 and securing his second place in the world rankings.
The game we are going to study is a tough positional Catalan, which nicely illustrates White's chances in this opening.
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.
