Trent's Tactics - World Championships Special (II) - Anand vs. Topalov

by Arne Kaehler
12/23/2021 – Lawrence is busy, but still managed to continue Trent's Tactics from the UK, with an improvised setup. Good enough to conquer a remarkable tactical masterpiece by Vishy Anand against Veselin Topalov, in the World Championship in Sofia from 2010. Lawrence and Arne also try to reach the 2350 Rating in the ChessBase training section, but will they succeed?

Trent's Tactics

with Lawrence Trent and Arne Kaehler

Lawrence Trent takes us through the world of tactics. In every new episode, he teaches us a new tactical motif, which his co-host Arne Kaehler tries to solve. 

The viewer is encouraged to actively participate in the tactics, stop the video, and try to solve the chess problems on their own.

The second part of "Trent's Tactics" dives straight into the ChessBase training section. Each episode, the two try to solve the tactics, and together with you, the viewer, embark on a long journey to brush up the score.

 

Don't forget: The bottom-right corner of the board indicates the colour to move!

The Sizzling Scotch Gambit

The Scotch Gambit is a brazen yet utterly sound system for White who immediately opens up the position, by sacrificing a central pawn, in an attempt to assassinate the enemy king as quickly as possible.
