Always wanted to play like a World Champion? Search no further! With Magnus Carlsen using the Sveshnikov variation as his weapon of choice in the World Championship match against Fabiano Caruana, this DVD could not be better timed.
Game of the Week 371
The FIDE GP seems to suffer a bit from the chosen KO format, since many of the classical games are uninspired draws. There are always exceptions though, and Topalov-Vachier Lagrave was certainly one of them, between two great fighters. These two Najdorf experts from different generations had a most interesting clash.
