ChessBase is a personal, stand-alone chess database that has become the standard throughout the world. Everyone uses ChessBase, from the World Champion to the amateur next door. It is the program of choice for anyone who loves the game and wants to know more about it.
Chess is about giving mate, and mate ends the game. This is something you learn as a beginner, but often forget when you try to grasp all these sophisticated positional subtleties in opening, middlegame and endgame.
This makes it all the nicer when a game between two absolute top players features a mating attack that culminates in a king hunt. Which is what happened in the second game of the fourth set of the semi-finals of the Magnus Carlsen Chess Tour final, where Ding Liren and Magnus Carlsen clashed.
Daniel King was impressed.
But despite all beauty: Ding Liren lost the match against Magnus Carlsen, who thus qualified for the "Best-of-Seven" final against Hikaru Nakamura, which starts at 4 pm on Friday, August 14. Maybe there will be more attacks and king hunts to watch.
Attacking the King — for Experts
Ever since the beginning of chess, the assault on the king has had its own special magic; masterly attacking games, crowned by sacrifices and unforgettable combinations, have never ceased to attract and thrill the audience. On this DVD in FritzTrainer video format, Rustam Kasimdzhanov shows us that particularly the World Champions were outstanding attackers from who we can learn a lot. From Steinitz, Lasker and Capablanca to Fischer, Karpov and Kasparov, one exemplary attacking game is presented reflecting the individual playing attitude of each of these chess legends.
