4/6/2022 – In his "Weekly Show" Lawrence Trent talks about the European Individual Championships with a special mention to the young Azeri star Abdulla Gadimbayli who, prior to round ten, was on a magnificent 7.0/9, gaining 40 rating points and undoubtedly a GM norm in the process. Lawrence also talks about the MPL Indian Chess Tour and finals of the Berlin Grand Prix. | Lawrence’s show is available on-demand with a ChessBase Premium Account.

The most popular chess program offers you everything you will need as a dedicated chess enthusiast, with innovative training methods for amateurs and professionals alike.

But the game of the day is the crushing win by Saric vs Abasov in round 10 meaning the Croatian number 1 still has a chance to fight for the title.

Here's a warm-up: This is a position from the game Sargissian-Gadimbayli. The young Azeri has just played the move ...b6-b5 in a difficult position but one where he should have decent drawing chances. Was this correct and if not, why not?
