15.500 games (played from September until October 2015)

Video training:

• Adrian Mikhalchishin was very impressed by the game Wojtaszek-Iordachescu, Yerevan 2014. White meets the Queen’s Indian with 5.Qa4 and manages to quickly get the whole point with simple moves.

• Nicholas Pert presents one of his own games in which he took the initiative at an early stage and went on to achieve a convincing victory.

• Robert Ris analyses a splendid attack by Bent Larsen, culminating in a beautiful queen sacrifice. The victim was none other than Tigran Petrosian, who was always considered an excellent defender but who was left powerless against Larsen’s mating attack.
