Robert Ris' Fast and Furious: A queen sacrifice!

by Robert Ris
11/29/2024 – In his new Fast & Furious episode, Robert Ris takes a look at an interesting queen sacrifice in one of his pet lines, which he happened to witness in an open tournament. | Fast & Furious is available on-demand with a ChessBase Premium Account. You can register a Premium account here.
This video course offers you a complete, clear repertoire for Black against the moves 1.Nf3 and 1.c4. The recommended variations are easy to learn and not difficult to remember, but also pose White serious challenges.

Robert Ris: "This week I have a closer look at a spectacular queen sacrifice against the English Opening. I was sitting next to the game Hampel-Kuzubov, Wolfsburg 2024 and was glad to see that Black opted for a variation that I do recommend on my course A Complete Black Repertoire against 1.Nf3 & 1.c4.

In the game White returned the gift immediately but never found sufficient compensation for the pawn and lost without a chance."

Exercise: Black to play and win!
