Patience pays off
Before the final round, Bence Korpa, Sarunas Sulskis and Oleg Korneev each had 7/9 points, but in round 10 Sulskis was the only one to score a full point.
In the game against the Russian grandmaster Alexander Cherniaev, who now plays for England, Sulskis patiently made the most of his space advantage as he only struck when the time was right.

Power Play Vol.23 and 24
On this DVD, Grandmaster Daniel King offers you a repertoire for Black with the QGD and against the Catalan. The repertoire is demonstrated in 20 stem games, covering all White's major systems.
