HOW TO DEFEND A BENKO GAMBIT ATTACK
GM FABIANO CARUANA: EXCELLENT DEFENSIVE SKILLS
26/May/2023 – Very accurate defense by Super GM Fabiano Caruana. It looks like he set up a trap, allowing black pieces to come in. Now if black moves 23…Nxf2 then simply 24. Nf4 trapping the queen at h3. Amazing imagination by black, only with strong courage and will to withstand a rampaging Benko Gambit Attack. Fantastic Game!!! Loved it…Thank you all, keep safe always…
The 2nd featured game: What can I say, this game is very enjoyable to watch. Super GM Maxime Vachier Lagrave is such a fighter. In his other game I annotated before I called him ” The Rambo of Chess”. I hope you also enjoyed it and learned from it. Thanks, and Keep safe Always.
But have a hot & delicious coffee first.
