THE SEMI-SLAV DEFENSE: SERIES 1
GM ALIREZA FIROUZJA: GOLD MEDALS ARE MADE OF DETERMINATION & GUTS
30/January 2024/ Beating World Champion Magnus Carlsen using the black pieces is quite a feat. Super GM Firouzja’s piece play and counter attacking moves lead to winning the game. Amazing…
The 2nd featured game: Excellently played by SuperGM Jules Moussard. He delayed castling anticipating white would pressure black’s kingside. Great control of mind and perseverance to win. I hope you enjoyed the game. Thanks, and looking forward to a great weekend.
