The game Le Quang Liem-Nakamura from the knock-out stages of the New in Chess Classic online tournament features probably one of the most aggressive setups to challenge the Queen's Gambit Declined. With a quick launch of the h-pawn and setting up the devastating battery of bishop and queen on the b1-h7 diagonal White announces his ambitions to grab the opponent by the throat.
As we will see, the basic attacking ideas can be implemented easily, but finishing the game off is a much harder task which the Vietnamese failed to complete. Credits should be given to Nakamura's resilient defensive play which helped him to even steal the full point.
Here's a warm-up: Do you see White's winning idea?
