The Tata Steel Tournament is over and it's time to look back at what I think was the most spectacular game of the tournament: the game Warmerdam-Pechac featured a Ruy Lopez with 3...Nge7 and it was the Dutchman who came up with a novelty on move 5 and soon after launched a powerful attack. His play was perhaps not always super precise, but it was definitely praiseworthy and a pleasure to watch!

Exercise: Black to play and find the only defense!

60m How to fight Queen's Pawn Openigns

After 1.d4 d5 many players with White avoid the great amount of theory in the Slav, Semi-Slav, QGA and Orthodox Queen's Gambit and do not therefore play 2.c4. This is not very ambitious, but the painful experience of many chess players has been that the Colle System, the Trompowsky Attack, the Torre Attack and the London System are nevertheless extremely dangerous. Black has to be prepared for each of these openings and IM Valeri Lilov offers you some help with his six instructive videos, in which he demonstrates for each single opening a relevant plan for Black. In addition to the openings mentioned, the Bulgarian trainer also delves into the Catalan, the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit and the Richter-Veresov Opening.
