We remain in French spheres this week. Last week we had an in-depth look at a sharp line of the Steinitz Variation. This week a fascinating game with the Winawer Variation will be the focus of the show.
The all-Serbian battle between Perunovic and Indjic started as a relatively quiet version of the normally hyper-sharp Winawer. Soon a sharp positional battle arose, though, and after some inaccuracies by both players, White eventually got a nice grip on the position and was able to carry out a devastating attack. As usual, the side with the initiative benefits from the presence of opposite-coloured bishops.
