The main focus of the video is a masterpiece played by Vasyl Ivanchuk in the Chess Legends tournament. He employed a King’s Gambit against Peter Leko and succeeded in confusing this ultra-correct player. I have a particular interest in this game as the players follow a line that I covered on my recent King’s Gambit DVD.
I will also be looking at an instructive pawn endgame played by the same two players.
As ever, I will be setting a problem for you to solve before next week.
Two of the best players the chess world has seen in the last 30 years or so faced each other at the ‘chess24 Legends of Chess’ tournament. And it was a marvelous duel.
In a must-win situation, Ivanchuk tried the King’s Gambit against Leko in the fourth rapid game of their mini-match. So we had a real clash of styles: the solid and correct Peter Leko, a classical player, someone who doesn’t gamble, against Vasyl Ivanchuk, someone who is very enterprising, prepared to play very unusual openings and used to wilder positions than his Hungarian opponent.
