GM VIDIT, SANTOSH GURATHI: FINDING THE WEAKEST LINK

05/December 2023/ I like the way Super GM Vidit set-up his pieces, at the same time, waiting for white to overextend his kingside pawns eventually, leaving a weak link at f4 square. Imagine when you wait for the right moment, sometimes, your ability to speculate things to happen, it just happens naturally.

 

The 2nd featured game:  American Super GM Niemann’s performance lately is outstanding, all the rumors or accusations about cheating faded or overlapped by his amazing results.

The 2nd featured game: Amazing and truly educational game!!! I love the idea of 6. Rg1, as it goes ‘all in’ to pressure black’s kingside at an early stage. You’re the best…World Champ Magnus…

31/October 2023/ Fantastic game by the American/Filipino Super GM Wesley So, he played carefully, did not allow World Champ Magnus Carlsen to recover from a disadvantageous position in the middle game. Lovely game. I hope you like it and learn from it. Thank you.

The 2nd featured game: Fantastic moves, very entertaining game by SuperGM Levon Aronian. The idea of delayed castling confuses black on where to pressure white. Amazing game it is…hope you loved it. Have a nice day to all. Enjoy your coffee…

GM MAGNUS CARLSEN: NOBODY PLAYS LIKE MAGNUS

28/September/ 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. Black resigned due to the mate at g2 while the bishop at c7 is hanging free. I hope you have learned and enjoyed this game. God Bless and keep safe always…

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. Thank you for the support. God Bless…

GM MAGNUS CARLSEN: THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL..

30/August/Elegant game!!! Both wanted to win, but the black’s weak pawn structures was the deciding factor. I applaud Super GM Nijat Abasov for his effort and fighting skills to play his best against “THE GOAT” Magnus Carlsen.

The 2nd featured game: Artfully played by Super GM Caruana. There is no better way to play against an aggressive player like Super GM Abasov but to sense every threat and repel it with counter offense. Lovely game…
