Sergey Karjakin is a regular in the world’s top ten chess players. He holds the record for the world’s youngest ever grandmaster, having qualified for the title at the age of 12 years and 7 months.
He famously defeated Fabiano Caruana in order to face Magnus Carlsen in the 2016 World Chess Championship match – a match he even led at some point, putting the world champ under pressure, before Carlsen came back and won the match in the rapid play-offs. An impressive show from Karjakin.
He is a player who has been nicknamed the Minister of Defense due to his uncanny ability to find the best defensive moves even when under the most intense pressure. Breaking down Karjakin and finding a win isn’t easy at the best of times – a skill that served him well during his World Championship match.
But despite Sergey’s nickname, GM Eugene Perelshteyn points out that the Russian player also knows how to play deadly chess attacks when the situation warrants it. In this video, Eugene takes a close look at three games from Karjakin where attacking was the name of the game and he left his opponents for dead.
By analyzing these three attacking masterpieces, we can learn a lot about how to attack in our own games. We see the basic principles of a successful attack employed by one of the world’s greatest players.
For example, Karjakin makes sure he has developed all his pieces before launching an attack. Most attacks will fall flat if there aren’t enough pieces involved, and when the dust has settled and the attack has petered out, you could find yourself with a losing position.
We also see how Karjakin doesn’t only target the enemy king, but looks to remove or distract key defenders in the opponent’s position. The fewer defenders around the enemy king, the easier it is to break through and checkmate it!
