Game of the Week: Wojtaszek vs Demchenko

by Merijn van Delft
10/16/2019 – Watching the top-flight chess on the Isle of Man, IM Merijn van Delft wonders whether the King's Indian is still playable at the elite level. The show is free to watch, and available on-demand for ChessBase Premium account holders (but FREE for a limited time!). Merijn is on-demand this week starting at 18:00 UTC (20:00 CEST / 2 PM EDT).
The Ruy Lopez is one of the oldest openings which continues to enjoy high popularity from club level to the absolute world top. In this video series, American super GM Fabiano Caruana, talking to IM Oliver Reeh, presents a complete repertoire for White.

Game of the Week #384

The FIDE Chess.com Grand Swiss 2019 tournament is a rich source of top-level chess, with so many grandmaster pairings every day. Caruana and Wang Hao are leading with 5 out of 6. Tonight we'll discuss the question, to what extent the King's Indian is still playable (at grandmaster level). Our main game will be Wojtaszek-Demchenko.

The live show is free to watch, and available on-demand for ChessBase Premium accounts.

Warm-up question: What would you play here with White?

 

The solution will be revealed tonight!
