My friend Milan and I played our fourth game in the 10-game match we started a month ago. This time he couldn’t be here for the analysis unfortunately, but he will analyze the rest of the games with me.
Milan is a Fide Master and an exceptionally good chess player. He is also a very nice guy and it’s a pleasure to analyze with him. We met this summer when we both played a tournament in Novi Sad.
This game was a thriller! He played the Benko gambit against me, which I knew nothing about. I don’t want to spoil the game, so I’m not going to write much. I hope you like it!
Here is the game:
