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.
I have a look once again at the sharp main line of the Caro-Kann, which was discussed in last week’s episode as well.
Instead of 10.0-0 (covered last week) Wei Yi opted for the main alternative 10.Be3 planning to castle queenside next, which he employed in both games against world champion Ding Liren. In the first game (rapid) Ding went for the sharp 11...b5!?, while in the second game (blitz) he opted for the calmer 11...Nf8.
In both cases, the positions became incredibly complex, and both sides had their chances.
