Abdusattorov v. Kamsky
Nodirbek Abdusattorov helped Viernheim to take the sole lead in the very competitive Bundesliga by scoring 2½ out of 3 points during last weekend. The Uzbek grandmaster defeated two strong 2600+ GMs, Gata Kamsky and Eduardo Iturrizaga, and drew Richard Rapport, a member of the elite.
In his game against Kamsky, the youngster did not shy away from tactical complications out of a Sicilian Defence, creating play on both sides of the board while his opponent’s king remained in the centre.
White just played 19.Rh3, creatively bringing the rook to an active spot along the third rank. Amid such complexity, a single mistake is always costly, and it was Kamsky who miscalculated a few moves later.
It is Black to move here, as his knight has just been attacked by 24.f4, and there is only one manoeuvre that keeps the precarious balance. Kamsky’s 24...Bxd4 was not the way to go, though. Can you find the winning combination played by Abdusattorov?
In this video course, twenty-nine examples with multiple questions are presented in the interactive format, which is ideal for a range of playing strengths. Step by step you will be taken through the complex positions.
Mastering these tactical motifs is essential to deepen your understanding of the game and become a better player. After all, you neither want to overlook the given chances by your opponent, nor blunder yourself!
