THEORY BEHIND THE TRIPLE PAWN: THE CATALAN SYSTEM
GM WESLEY SO: IMAGINATION IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN KNOWLEDGE
22/May/2023 – Wonderful game!!! How tricky the triple pawn idea is. Well done, Super GM Wesley So. This reminds every chess player to not mind relaxing but to think deeply or be mindful against incoming threats or tactical strategies. I hope you learned from this game. God Bless You all…
The 2nd featured game: Nice strategic play by Super GM Hikaru Nakamura. White cannot prevent the pawn at a4 to go to a2 square and the rook at a8 will move via d8 to d2 attacking the f2 pawn and occupying the 7th rank for both rooks which is winning. This is an example that as long as there are still active pieces no matter how bad the pawn structure, anything can happen. Thank you for the support… keep positive minded. Cheers…
But have a hot & delicious coffee first.

Black Game Plan: Pressure the b file, there is weakness at lights squares of White's kingside.
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.
