Fritz 17 - The giant PC chess program, now with Fat Fritz
The most popular chess program offers you everything you will need as a dedicated chess enthusiast, with innovative training methods for amateurs and professionals alike.
With a current rating of 2699 Daniil Dubov is officially number 38 on the FIDE world ranking list. The young Russian who at the age of 14 years, 11 months, and 14 days made his final grandmaster norm in 2011 is not only a great talent but he is also admired for his creative play.
Magnus Carlsen definitely had his reasons to invite Dubov to be part of his team at Carlsen's World Championship Match against Fabiano Caruana in London 2018. A few weeks after the match, in December 2018, Dubov became World Rapid Champion in St. Petersburg, ahead of Carlsen, Shakhriyar Mamedyarov and Hikaru Nakamura.
And Dubov not only impresses with his results but also with the way he plays. The following spectacular win against Rasmus Svane at the European Team Championship 2019 in Georgia is just one particularly striking example.
Dubov is also famous for his opening novelties and his new opening concepts – a famous example is his stunning move 8...d5!? in the Anti-Marshall against Jonas Bjerre in round one of the European Team Championship.
At the Chessable Masters things at first went fine for Dubov but in the end he narrowly missed to qualify for the finals. Dubov, who came from winning the Lindores Abbey Rapid Challenge, caught Artemiev in the lead by beating him in round 7 and was still sharing first place before the penultimate round. But then all went wrong for the Russian — he lost to Carlsen and Nakamura, while Grischuk scored in a must-win situation to take him out on tiebreak criteria.
However, Dubov again played fascinating chess throughout the tournament and his win against Artemiev in round 7 is definitely one of the highlights of the Chessable Masters. In his show Merijn takes a closer look at this game.
But first warming-up question: What would you play here with White?
