This is sharp chess game between KomodoDragon (3620) and Ethereal (3618) from the Premier Division of the Top Chess Engine Championship Season 28. The opening is a King’s Indian Defense Mar del Plata, with play beginning from the position after 12…f4. In this variation of the King’s Indian Defense Mar del Plata, black’s c-pawn sits on c5 to restrict white’s typical queenside play. KomodoDragon demonstrates a way to punish this approach.
