One of the most original young talents at the elite level, the 20-year-old Richard Rapport from Hungary, is paired against the current World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen in Round 8 of the 2017 Tata Steel Chess Tournament. What would be the result when an atypical beginning w/ 2. b3, at least in top level play, is thrown at the World Champion. How would Carlsen treat Rapport’s Nimzovich-Larsen attack?

I’m a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who was introduced to the game by my father in 1988 at the age of 8. The purpose of this channel is to share my knowledge of chess to help others improve their game. I enjoy continuing to improve my understanding of this great game, albeit slowly.
