The Hamburger Schachklub von 1830 (HSK) is performing extraordinary well in the European Online Club Cup, and managed to qualify for the round of the final 10.
Nils Grandelius, Rasmus Svane, Sune Berg Hansen, Luis Engel and Thies Heinemann are all grandmasters, but man of the match on more than one occasion was Hamburg's last board Julian Kramer. Julian's rating of 2419 is relatively low and he currently focuses on his studies, he is young and talented. Moreover, being a member of the new generation certainly helps in playing online events. We will take a close look how a very clever opening choice helped him to beat Ivan Cheparinov.
Warm-up question: What would you play here with Black?
