THE SCOTCH GAMBIT CHRONICLES 2

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…

THE BOGO-INDIAN SYSTEM

GM LI DI: THE WEAKNESS OF THE BOGO-INDIAN DEFENSE

28/August/2023 – Fantastic game by GM Li, Di. Black’s attack on white’s kingside in the middle game is useless because the 24…Qa4 move had fallen to white’s plan of breaking black’s central pawns. White’s ability to temp black to enter into a setup trap is amazing indeed. Lovely game…

The 2nd featured game: A cool game by Sorensen. White tried all his tools to penetrate black’s defensive structure but fell short. Imagination really is an important factor to win games. Happy to share this game to you all. God Bless…
