- Andrey Esipenko, raising Russian chess star facing international master Lorin D'Costa from England. Esipenko is better known for closed opening and elects d4 this time as well. D'Costa plays Grunfeld defense, which is extremely popular at all levels, however I must admit that recently Grunfeld players have been struggling a little bit to get comfortable positions again. Andrey plays main line and as in many instances queens get swapped. In theory Black's position should be OK - they don't have weaknesses and position is very closed: pawns can't hit one another and can be blocked. Esipenko shows great understanding of slow chess and wins a game in Magnus Carlsen style with a very nice piece sacrifice in the end.

The Grünfeld Defence is a chess opening characterised by the moves:
1. d4 Nf6
2. c4 g6
3. Nc3 d5
Black offers White the possibility of cxd5, when after ...Nxd5 White further gets the opportunity to kick the black knight around with e4, leading to an imposing central pawn duo for White. If White does not take the d5-pawn, Black may eventually play ...dxc4, when a White response of e4 again leads to the same pawn structure. In classical opening theory this imposing pawn centre was held to give White a large advantage, but the hypermodern school, which was coming to the fore in the 1920s, held that a large pawn centre could be a liability rather than an asset. The Grünfeld is therefore a key hypermodern opening, showing in stark terms how a large pawn centre can either be a powerful battering ram or a target for attack.
The main line of the Grünfeld, the Exchange Variation (ECO codes D85-D89), is defined by the continuation 4. cxd5 Nxd5 5. e4. Now White has an imposing looking centre - and the main continuation 5... Nxc3 6. bxc3 strengthens it still further. Black generally attacks White's centre with ...c5 and ...Bg7, often followed by moves such as ...Qa5, ...cxd4, ...Bg4, and ...Nc6. White often uses his big centre to launch an attack against Black's king. One subvariation, frequently played by Karpov, including four games of his 1987 world championship match against Kasparov in Seville, Spain, is the Seville Variation, after 6...Bg7 7.Bc4 c5 8.Ne2 Nc6 9.Be3 0-0 10.0-0 Bg4 11.f3 Na5 12.Bxf7+, long thought a poor move by theory, as the resultant light-square weakness had been believed to give Black more than enough compensation for the pawn.
White can develop his pieces in a number of ways in the Exchange Variation. For decades, theory held that the correct method of development was with Bc4 and Ne2, often followed by 0-0 and f4-f5, playing for a central breakthrough or kingside attack. It was generally thought that an early Nf3 was weak in the Exchange Variation because it allowed Black too much pressure on the centre with ...Bg4. In the late 1970s, however, Karpov, Kasparov and others found different methods to play the Exchange Variation with White, often involving an early Rb1 to remove the rook from the sensitive a1-h8 diagonal, as well as attempting to hinder the development of Black's queenside. Another, relatively recently developed system involves quickly playing Be3, Qd2, and Rc1 or Rd1 to fortify White's centre, remove White's rook from the diagonal, and possibly enable an early d5 push by White.
Vladimir Kramnik and Boris Gelfand are the leading practitioners as White, and Ľubomír Ftáčnik has had many fine results with the black pieces.

It's one of these games everyone of us has played. You make minor threats concealed in a load of irrelevant moves when the position is completely drawn.
So, black made a mistake and his good bishop could not escape the exchange after g5. Then the game was very difficult to hold. Kudos for the sacrifice although it was quite obvious, but nevertheless, it requires a master to spot these thematic moves.
Esipenko will be a super GM in the future. His play is very impressive.
Well done thorough analysis of the Gruenfeld Defense. center and than Black attacks it.
I think MVL is also considered an Expect on the Black side!
Hot day in Grandmaster Esipenko's positional massage parlour, stretching out that muscular defense, a push here, a squeeze there...

تسجيل رائع.... لايك
Черные проморгали жертву качества!!! Как же так??? 2 разряд и то пожертвовал бы в этой позиции!!!
Boring his opponent to death...
It was a draw, Spanish guy just got tired and made a mistake. Esipenko isn't a great player, at least now.
Its true,she play disgusting.just wait mistake,and probably is not draw after 50 moves not pawn play in rapid chess.
First of all, his rival was English, and secondly, Esipenko is more than 2700 and was 2650+ in the video. What the heck do you mean he is not good???
@@lorenzo6553 Esipenko, firstly log in. Second, why the hell are you looking at your opponent all the time?
@@lorenzo6553 I meant - he is not equal to Magnus to call a video like that.
@@lehtveys The video tittle doesn't claim he is equal to Magnus, it says he showed a similar playing style
Кр:d2!!!
Boring game
far from magnus
We will see...
