by Oliver Reeh
11/20/2020 – Objectively, the diagram position in which Black is to move, might be equal but it is certainly tricky and complicated. Therefore, Black should find a good and powerful move - Richard Rapport was up to the task. How about you?
88 times, IM Oliver Reeh leads you step by step through the most brillant game conclusions of the world champions - in interactive Fritztrainer format, enabling you to enter the winning moves yourself.

When the board's on fire...

... you should stay calm. Also, it often helps to ask yourself which of your pieces is not active yet - and to invite it to the party, as Yasser Seirawan put it so well!
