Attack like a Super Grandmaster
In this Fritztrainer: “Attack like a Super GM†with Gukesh we touch upon all aspects of his play, with special emphasis on how you can become a better attacking player.
The Candidates Tournament is about to start and will occupy our attention for the next few weeks, but for now our theme is the French Defence. In our game of the week, Ivic-Mishra, played in the seventh round of the Grenke Open, White came as close to refuting the French Defence as one can get. Of course, with accurate play Black can hold, as in any main opening, but White's remarkable concept has universal value and can certainly give Black players a headache for a while.
Warm-up question: What would you play here with White?
In this opening Black opts for active piece play and is not afraid to fight for the initiative from an early stage. One of the many good features of this opening is that Black is often the side which controls the pace of the game.
