Seems everyone has been busy this year- I know it's been quite a few months since I've analyzed any games or even been involved in chess. However, I found a very shap game from 1998. I'm not going to strain myself trying to analyze this game like I've done in the past; I doubt my ability to do so is still with me. This game features the offbeat Chigorin Defense, an under-utilized response to the Queen's Gambit. The basic opening position is this:
This game follows a line known as the Modern Gambit. Both the standard line and the gambit are favorites of GM Morozevich. Anyone looking to become better acquainted with this defense is recommended to study his games.
