Sindarov’s play at the Candidates Tournament is absolutely impressive and we have a look at his 10th round game against Praggnanandhaa. Did he take a lot of risks opting for a theoretical piece sacrifice in a sharp line of the Queen’s Gambit Declined? Or was it actually a very clever practical decision, offering risk-free attacking chances against the opponent’s king? In this episode I’ll give you my take on his approach and discuss the current theoretical state of this opening variation.<\/p>\n

In this DVD, Erwin l’Ami guides you through the fascinating Benko Gambit. As early as move three Black starts a fight for the initiative, a strategy that has proved to be successful in countless amateur and master level games.<\/p>\n

Exercise: What did Praggnanandhaa overlook here? White to Play!\/p><\/p>\n
