BEATING THE SCOTCH GAMBIT
GM MAGNUS CARLSEN: THE "GOAT"
11/May/2023 – This is a quick win by World Champion GM Magnus Carlsen versus Super GM Maxime Vachier Lagrave. Black dictated the game, the 7…gf6 is an excellent theoretical move versus the Scotch Gambit. I hope you have learned and enjoyed this game.
The 2nd featured game: This is a one-sided game. White was not able to counter black’s offense. It really matters heavily when a pair of bishops in an open position is always a factor in penetrating dark or light square weaknesses. Fantastic game..Super GM Fabiano Caruana. I hope you learned from this game.
But have a hot & delicious coffee first.

GM Anish Giri played smoothly, countered black's offense at the kingside then took advantage of inaccurate moves of black's defense. followed with lethal combination. Wonderful game.

White Game Plan: Use the two bishops to create loopholes at white's kingside.
GM Vladimir Kramnik is always spectacular when he plays the Bayonet Attack. His style play is very entertaining, structured and classy. But coffee first...enjoy...
